About this notice

The College takes the protection of all personal information (data) seriously and is fully committed to the protection of the rights and freedoms of all individuals in relation to the processing of their personal data. The processing of all personal information will be in compliance with data protection laws. This is done in accordance with:
  • The General Data Protection Regulation
  • Associated legislation
  • Case law and the spirit of the Regulation
  • The College’s notification as a data controller with the UK Information Commissioner (Reference No: Z9702162), which sets out the purposes for which the College holds and processes personal data about employees, students, graduates and others
The purpose of this notice is to give you a general overview of how we use the information we collect from you with regards to the Report and Support service. 

Your personal information - why we need it 

If you use Report and Support to report an incident experienced or witnessed by you at the College you have the option to provide personal information about you such as contact details and information regarding the incident.  The primary purpose of Report and Support is to enable the College’s students and staff to access support.

You have two options on how you can submit a report – a named report with your contact details or an anonymous report. 
  • In a named report, the College is in a better position to respond to the incident and offer you support. 
  • In an anonymous report, where you have chosen not to provide us with your name and contact details, the College is unable to directly support you in relation to the incident.
The College will use information provided in anonymous reports for analytical purposes such as monitoring trends or patterns to help inform our decision-making, for example, policy or procedure change or development.

 In both a named report and anonymous report, you will be asked to provide the following special category data: 
  •  Protected characteristics information (e.g. age, disability or long-term health condition, ethnicity, gender, religion or belief, and sexual orientation) 
In providing this information, you enable the College to monitor any trends or patterns in relation to these characteristics. It is your choice to provide this information to us; a ‘prefer not to say’ option is available. 

How long do we keep your information

Personal information collected is only kept for the duration set out in the College’s Information Retention Schedule.
