What Sorts of Information does NWLDC Hold?

NWLDC holds various types of information in order to provide a wide range of continuously improving services to the people of North West Leicestershire. Some of the types of information we hold include:

• Names and addresses
• Telephone numbers
• E-mail addresses
• CCTV images
• Images of people
• Expressions of public opinion
• Complaints files and the complainants’ details
• Records of current / ex members of staff who have completed training courses

In order to ensure that the people of North West Leicestershire receive the services they need, and particularly where the service provision is partly or completely provided by another authority, it is sometimes necessary for us to share personal information with other organisations. In line with (particularly) the first of the Data Protection Principles, this data sharing needs to be carefully controlled in order to remain legal and fair. To facilitate this sharing of information, an Information Sharing Protocol (PDF Document, 0.37 Mb) has been developed by a range of public sector organisations in Leicestershire. A list of Organisations signed up to the sharing protocol (PDF Document, 0.1 Mb) can also be viewed.
