All services that collect personal information about children, young people and their families need to have in place a privacy statement that they can issue to all service users. The privacy statement needs to explain in plain English the following principles:
- Who is collecting the information
- Why the information is needed and what that information is
- What you will do with it, including: how it will be collected, used and stored
- How you will safeguard it and when you will dispose of it
- How people can check the information you hold on them
- How to get more information and how to complain
It also gives details on how each of these principles shows adherence to the Data Protection Act. The information given in this document has been complied from that given by the Department for Constitution Affairs and refers people producing privacy statements to their website for further information.
The outline template is for adaptation in each service with the additional information about the service added where shown.
