How will your information be used?
The information you give us for Healthy Learning, Healthy Lives will be used by Doncaster Council to assess whether your provider meets the criteria in order to be awarded the HLHLives accreditation. Before you upload your evidence you must ensure you remove any information that identifies pupils, families or any other people unless the school has gained their consent for submission to HLHL. This means that you should, for example, not include identifiable photographs unless consent has been gained by explaining to individuals what their information is being used for and that the school will remove names, personal information and any discussions about individual children or families before you submit documents such as minutes from meetings or testimonials (unless consent for this purpose has been obtained and recorded by the school).
Your portal password is unique to your organisation and must not be shared with any other organisation. Please inform us of any incident or breach relating to the use of the portal.
Some data may be used to evaluate HLHL with a partner organisation, which is currently the Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humberside (RDaSH) NHS Foundation Trust. All personal data will be removed before this is done.
