What’s this about?
A new law is being made that keeps your information safe – things like your date of birth, where you have lived, where you went to school. Total Care Matters and other people collect and use information for all kinds of reasons, and the new law tells them exactly what they are allowed to do with yours.
We collect some information about you. It’s our job to tell you how we will collect the information, how we will record it and how we will use it.
In this notice, you will see different names or terms used that you may not be familiar with, such as:

We have to pass on certain information to the people in charge of local schools called the Local Authority.
