Information handling
Only information relevant to assessment, investigation, advocacy or lawful administration should be collected. Access should be limited to those with a legitimate need.
Governance / Privacy
PROTECT THE SOURCE.
PRESERVE THE RECORD.
Sensitive information can place prisoners, families, witnesses and professionals at risk. MIRLA’s approach is data-minimising and purpose-driven.
“Confidentiality is not secrecy for power. It is protection for people.”
High-risk submissions
Do not use an unsafe device or monitored account if doing so could expose you. In urgent danger, contact a trusted lawyer, diplomatic mission or emergency service appropriate to your circumstances.
Retention and sharing
Information may be shared with an active partner only where relevant to the stated purpose, subject to safety, confidentiality and legal considerations.
AUTHORITY MUST
ANSWER TO EVIDENCE.
