Accessing your information

We comply with the Data Protection Act 1998, the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

We do this by:

• Being transparent and fair in the way we meet our obligations under the above Acts, recognising your rights
• Ensuring the data held about you is accurate, relevant and subject to clear archiving and destruction policies
• Ensuring there are proper security measures in place to protect confidentiality
• Facilitating access to information where this does not prejudice the purpose for which the information is held or infringe rights to privacy
• Treating everyone justly and fairly whatever their age, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation or ethnicity when dealing with requests for information
• Setting out clear procedures for responding to requests for information
• Setting out clear procedures for making a complaint and ensuring a prompt response
