In accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 we must inform you that by signing this form you are giving your consent to process the information we collect from you whilst we have involvement with you and your family, for the purposes of providing support. This information may be shared, but only where appropriate, with other relevant professionals and organisations, such as the NHS, Leeds City Council, and Families First programme. Sharing with the Families First programme may allow us to access additional family support and/or funding for you
Each agency is duty bound to follow data protection and child protection policies and guidelines and will ensure the safe transfer and storage of any information they record. I agree that information about my family may be shared, and sought from other relevant agencies to help ensure that my child/ren and family receives the support we need.
If there are changes in family circumstances or our family no longer want support from any of the services involved or offered it is understood by everyone that it is the responsibility of the parent/carer to inform the requesting agency or worker.
The Council may have to give some of the information we collect from you to relevant government departments, such as the DfE or the DCLG, for research purposes and with the aim of making the services of Leeds City Council better. Any sharing will be done only where it is necessary or where we are legally obliged to do so and is strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act. Your information may be collated or monitored, where possible in an anonymized format, to ensure you receive the correct support and services. Should you choose not to consent to sign this form then please note we may still be required under law to process and share the information in this form without your agreement, for example when we believe a child is at significant risk of harm.
