Sharing your data
In carrying out its statutory obligations, the team sometimes needs to share information with other council services as well as other organisations such as government bodies, the police, the health and social care organisations, housing
associations and landlords, and educational establishments. In all such circumstances, the team ensures that the processing is proportionate to the aim pursued and that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the data processed.
We only share information with these organisations on a strict need to know basis for the purposes of minimising public and environmental health risks and ensuring that individuals receive the support that they need. Personal information may also be shared if there is a lawful reason to do so for crime prevention or detection purposes or where it is in the interest of maintaining public safety.
