Information Collection Consent Form

Revised 18/7/13

WHAT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS

Personal information is any information or an opinion (whether true or not) about you. It may range from the very sensitive (e.g. medical history or condition) to the everyday (e.g. address and phone number). It would include the opinions of others about your work performance (whether true or not), your work experience and qualifications, aptitude test results and other information obtained by us in connection with your possible work placements. Personal information includes sensitive information.

WHAT SENSITIVE INFORMATION IS

Sensitive information is a special category of personal information. It includes information or opinion about your:

• membership of a professional or trade association or membership of a trade union;

• criminal record;

• health or disability (at any time);

• It includes personal information collected to provide a health service.

There are other types of sensitive information; but they are generally less relevant to work and pre-work situations. Sensitive information can, in most cases, only be collected with your consent. We will only collect information that is necessary for the proper performance of our tasks or functions. We do not collect or use personal or sensitive information for the purposes of unlawful discrimination.

We will only collect information that is necessary for the proper performance of our tasks or functions. We do not collect or use personal information for the purposes of unlawful discrimination. We do not collect personal information just because we think it could be useful at some future stage if we have no present need for it. We do not routinely conduct criminal history checks and only do so in order to obtain relevant criminal history with regard to particular jobs you are offered or for which you are shortlisted.
