Regulation 30 Duty to preserve evidence relating to DSI matters

Where a DSI matter comes to the attention of the chief executive, the chief executive must take all such steps as appear to be appropriate for the purposes of these Regulations for obtaining and preserving evidence relating to that matter.

The chief executive’s duty under paragraph (1) must be performed as soon as practicable after the chief executive becomes aware of the matter in question.

After that, the chief executive must, until satisfied that it is no longer necessary to do so, continue to take the steps from time to time appearing to the chief executive to be appropriate for the purposes of these Regulations for obtaining and preserving evidence relating to the matter.

The Director General may direct the chief executive to take all such specific steps for obtaining or preserving evidence relating to any recordable conduct matter as the Director General considers appropriate for the purposes of these Regulations; and the chief executive must comply with any such direction.
