Registration Information for ages over 18

We ask personal questions about you to ensure that we have the correct information about you, for example, the name you like to be known as (or called). We ask for contact information so that we can contact you about other pieces of work you may be interested in getting involved with. This will include things from other services and organisations.

Do you need anything to help you feel safe?  We ask this so that you can share with us anything that you might need to enable you to join the meeting,  or that will impact you positively. This could include things like:

• Not having the room to hot or too cold
• Letting me speak in my own time without any pressure or being put on the spot.
• Having paper and pens available

We may not always be in a position where we can do everything, but we will support you as much as possible. We ask information about your lived experience and whether you have any particular types of opportunities in mind so that we can let you know of any projects or groups that we think may interest you.

Questions including gender, ethnic group and disabilities are all classed as demographic information. We collect this information so that we can look closer at who is engaging with us and if there are areas of people that we are not hearing from. We want to make sure that we are working with as many people as possible.

All of the information we ask for we store securely on a data base that only staff members with specific access can see, these staff members include members of the Involvement Experience and Volunteering team, and staff members you are working with on specific work, meetings and/or projects.

We work in line of the Data protection: The Data Protection Act - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
