Data Protection Act 2018

The Data Protection Act 2018 establishes rights for individuals who disclose their personal information - where personal information is widely defined - to any organisation for any purposes involving processing of that information. Any organisation which processes information about living individuals is a data controller for the purposes of the Act; that is a person who determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal data is, or is to be, processed. A data controller is required by the Act to ensure that the data subject has, is provided with, or has made readily available to him certain specified information, including the data controller's identity, the identity of any other person to whom he may disclose the information, and the purpose or purposes for which data is intended to be processed.

What data do we have?

So that we can provide a safe and professional service, we need to keep certain records about you. We may record the following types of data about you:

• Your basic details and contact information e.g. your name, address, date of birth and next of kin;

• Your financial details e.g. details of how you pay us for your care or your funding arrangements.

We also record the following data which is classified as “special category”:

• Health and social care data about you, which might include both your physical and mental health data.

• We may also record data about your race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation or religion.

Why do we have this data?

We require this data so that we can provide high-quality care and support. By law, we need to have a lawful basis for processing your personal data.

We process your data because

• We are required to do so in our performance of a public task;

• We are required to do so in order to fulfil a contract that we have with you;

• We have a legal obligation to do so – generally under the Health and Social Care Act 2012 or Mental Capacity Act 2005.

We process your special category data because

• It is necessary due to social security and social protection law (generally this would be in safeguarding instances);

• It is necessary for us to provide and manage social care services;

• We are required to provide data to our regulator, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), as part of our public interest obligations.

We may also process your data with your consent. If we need to ask for your permission, we will offer you a clear choice and ask that you confirm to us that you consent. We will also explain clearly to you what we need the data for and how you can withdraw your consent.

Where do we process your data?

So that we can provide you with high quality care and support we need specific data. This is collected from or shared with:

1. You or your legal representative(s);

2. Third parties.

We do this face to face, via phone, via email, via our website and via post.

Third parties are organisations we have a legal reason to share your data with. These include:

• Other parts of the health and care system such as local hospitals, the GP, the pharmacy, social workers, clinical commissioning groups, and other health and care professionals;

• The Local Authority;

• Organisations we have a legal obligation to share information with i.e. for safeguarding, the CQC;

• The police or other law enforcement agencies if we have to by law or court order.
