Data Protection

With the new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) in force from 25th May 2018, we are confirming our data protection. The GDPR has replaced the Data Protection Act 1998.

The LSCB is a Data Processor. We are hosted by Brent Council, which is our Data Controller and we use their training, guidance and policies.

LSCBs are not subject to FOI (Freedom of Information) requests.

All who receive our newsletter, promotional emails and learning and development information will have opted in with their consent. To be removed from our mailing list please email Brent.SCF@brent.gov.uk at any time.

Statutory organisations have their own policies for data protection and processing. Contact your own safeguarding lead.

Through this privacy notice we have sought to be as transparent as possible to fully explain how your personal information is held and processed.

Why we need your information

We need your personal data in order to provide you with learning and development or our newsletter.

For the purposes of CDOP and Serious Case Reviews / Local Learning Reviews, we have strict data protection and retention practices in line with the council who host us. We are bound by statutory guidance in the information we obtain for case reviews and child deaths.

Information for those who work with children and their families

Good information sharing between professionals is vital in relation to child protection.

National Serious Case Reviews show that children can be seriously harmed or die when professionals don’t share information. Professionals should always seek agreement to share information when it is right to do so and where this does not place a child or adult at risk.
