The purpose of processing
To comply with our duties under the Care Act 2014 we will use this information to understand and assess your social care needs through an assessment or equivalent document. If you are assessed as having eligible needs we will carry out a financial assessment. This may be shared with other professionals and providers of services that may be able to support you in meeting your needs. Information such as relevant correspondence and case notes will also be collected and stored on your file in relation to your social care needs.
Under the Care Act we will also use information under our safeguarding responsibilities to adults with care and support needs that may be experiencing, or at risk of, abuse, neglect or deprivation of assets and are unable to protect themselves because of these. This information will be shared with multi-agency partners such as the Health professionals and the Police on a need to know basis.
Where you have agreed to be the Relevant Person’s Representative we will consult with you as part of the assessment process. We will also share this information with any other relevant professionals and agencies in order to safeguard the Article 5 right of the relevant person.
The above information is stored on a secure database. If information is shared with others such as health professionals this will be done by secure methods.
