1. Data Protection Declaration:

As part of the recruitment process, we may collect and store your personal data, including your Special Category Data. We are required by law to obtain your consent to such data being recorded. Under the General Data Protection Regulation 2018, Special Category Data is defined as information relating to any of the following: ethnicity, health, sexual orientation, trade union membership, religious or political beliefs. By ticking the box below, you confirm that you give your consent to your personal data, including Special Category Data, being recorded and stored.

How we will use your information:

The information you give us on this form will be used to help us decide whether to recruit you as a member of staff – this is our ‘legitimate interest’ under data protection law. It will only be seen by staff involved in the recruitment process and will be stored securely. We will retain unsuccessful application forms for up to 1 year from the date the application was received. If you are recruited, we will retain your contact information in order to involve and support you. We will also collect additional information, such as next of kin details, and over time, records of training, support meetings and where relevant, appraisals. Again, it will be kept securely, and only those people who need to see your information in order to involve you will have access to it.

All use of applicant’s information will be relevant to their involvement, and may include:

• Contacting applicants when necessary
• Making reasonable adjustments to improve accessibility
• Monitoring statistical details of our applicants
• Providing ongoing support to applicants
• Addressing problems or complaints
