Privacy Notice – Supporting Families

Why we collect your data

We collect your data so that we can identify families who are experiencing difficulties to make sure they receive co-ordinated help and support.

From October 2022, to be eligible for the programme, one or more members of a family must be assessed to need support from services to address at least three of the following outcomes:

  • Getting a good education
  • Good early years development
  • Improved mental and physical health
  • Promoting recovery and reducing harm from substance use
  • Improved family relationships
  • Children safe from abuse and exploitation
  • Crime prevention and tacking crime
  • Safe from domestic abuse
  • Secure housing
  • Financial stability

However, if we intend to use information for any other purpose, we will ask you first and make sure we have a lawful basis to do so.

In some cases, the Council may be able to use your information without telling you, for example if there is a risk of serious harm or threat to life.
