We want to provide information that can be easily read and understood. Does the Client have a disability, impairment or sensory loss?

Any personal information you share with Southdown will be kept secure and used in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

 

It will only be looked at and used to help make sure we give you an effective service. This may include sharing the information across different parts of Southdown where this is necessary to ensure we give you the best possible support.

We may share the information with other support agencies if this would help you access other services or if we are concerned about you or someone else.

 

We understand that you may not want certain information about you shared with some people. This can make it difficult for us to give you all the support you need, so if you do not want information about you shared with another service or person, your worker will talk to you about how this might affect you.

 

We can share your information even if you have asked us not to if we are concerned about your safety or the safety of others, or where we are required to by law. We will try to discuss this with you before we share your information.

 

Remember you can discuss, withdraw, change or review your consent for Southdown to process your personal information at any time. You can also ask us to delete any information we hold about you. This will also be reviewed at your regular support plan review sessions with your support worker. If there are legal reasons why Southdown needs to retain your information we will talk to you about this to ensure that you are making informed decisions about how this might affect you. You can also ask to see the information Southdown holds about you.

 

If you are unhappy with the way Southdown uses your information please speak to us and we will do everything possible to address your concerns. If you are still unhappy you have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). More information about this is available on the ICO website at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/
