Information sharing

To ensure that we can provide you with the best possible service we may have to share your personal data between our internal teams or external partners. Our external partners can include the Central Government Departments, Police Forces, the Fire Service, National Health Service, Public Health, other local authorities, district councils, credit reference agencies, service providers or contractor, Children’s Trust and partner bodies.

The council will also share your information with third parties, other than those who either process information on our behalf or because of a legal requirement/entitlement, but it will only do so if necessary or where permitted under data protection legislation.

As well as public bodies we may also share information with utility companies, credit reference agencies and service providers/contractors where the disclosure of such information is required to protect the public purse or is otherwise necessary to comply with any other legal obligation.
