The main types of organisations we may share information with are:

  • Local and central government bodies, e.g. County Councils/Commissioners
  • Law enforcement agencies, such as the Police and Fire and Rescue Service

Your information will only be shared where there is a statutory requirement to do so or where you have provided consent.


Collecting information automatically

We use cookies to collect statistics about your visit to our website. We use this information to track user activity which in turn helps us to improve the website. These statistics do not contain personal data and cannot be traced back to an individual.


Information security

The website pages which are used to collect your personal details are protected by a digital certificate called a 'Secure Socket Layer'.
