UK ICO Guidance on Video Surveillance including CCTV (2022) P.7(b): P.7(b) Workplace surveillance: target risk areas with low privacy expectations; continuous monitoring of individuals only in the rarest cases; not rest areas

Video or audio monitoring of staff must be targeted at areas of particular risk and confined to areas with low privacy expectations; continuous monitoring of particular individuals is likely to be justified only in the rarest circumstances and may engage laws beyond data protection on targeted monitoring. The ICO's example: cameras in a staff rest area are not generally expected, hard to justify, and should not be installed without a compelling reason, identified through a DPIA. The audio point concerns face-to-face or private conversations, not business calls recorded for training.
