South and East Belfast Sinn Féin -- Building an Ireland of Equals

Parker welcomes launch of document security initiative

Published: 2 September, 2010

Balmoral Sinn Féin representative, and member of the south Belfast DPP, Vincent Parker has welcomed today's Information Security initiative launch; a Belfast 'document shredding day', being launched by First Trust bank and Shred-it Ireland, in conjunction with the Belfast District Policing Partnership.

Vincent Parker said,
"It is planned that this launch will highlight the dangers of documentation such as receipts, bills, invoices, documents and other information not being destroyed properly. This has led to an increase in identity fraud in recent years.

"It is essential that both businesses and the general public realise that they can protect themselves against identity fraud by safely and securely destroying confidential information. This event is to be welcomed and I would urge people to ensure that they destroy their private documentation securely."
