Improving Homelessness Services - Sharing Your Data
The Council has agreed to take part in a piece of research for the Government. Several Councils are participating. The purpose of the research is to test the approach of Councils to dealing with homelessness.
It means we will be sharing your data, but it won’t be used to identify you and it won’t affect any benefits you are receiving.
There is some more information below, and you can opt out by just letting us know.
Please email HousingOptions@eaststaffsbc.gov.uk if you would like to opt out.
How are we using your information?
If you or someone in your household completes an assessment to receive advice and assistance from the Council we will share some of your personal information with the Department for Communities and Local Government for research purposes.
How will this affect me?
It will not affect your benefits, services or any treatment that you get. Your information will be made anonymous and handled with care in accordance with the law.
Why is my information being shared?
We are sharing your information to help improve the services your household and other households receive in the future.
