People who contact us via social media The site serves “cookies” from Twitter to enable the twitter feed on the site..

Please be aware that you have a responsibility to ensure that any email you send is within the bounds of the law. People who make a complaint to us When we receive a complaint from a person, we make up a file containing the details of the complaint. This normally contains the identity of the complainant and any other individuals involved in the complaint plus the date and time the complaint was received. We will only use the personal information we collect to process the complaint and to check on the level of service received. We usually have to disclose the complainant’s identity to whoever the complaint is about. This is inevitable where, for example, the accuracy of a person’s record is in dispute. If a complainant doesn’t want information identifying him or her to be disclosed, we will try to respect that. However, it may not be possible to handle a complaint on an anonymous basis. We will keep personal information contained in complaint files for two years from when the file is closed. It will be retained in a secure environment and access to it will be restricted to a need to know basis. Similarly, where enquiries are submitted to us we will only use the information supplied to us to deal with the enquiry and any subsequent issues and to check on the level of service we provide.
