We will use the information that you provide to:
- process your application;
- update and maintain the register; and
- keep in touch with you
The following information will be available to the general public when checking the Social Care Register on this website:
- your full name and title;
- your registration number; and
- the postal town of your work address.
We will provide employers with information about any conditions imposed on your registration, any period of suspension, and any admonishment we impose at any time.
We may exchange relevant information about applicants and registrants with other regulatory bodies and similar organisations in the UK and in other countries to maintain the register and if we have reasonable grounds for believing that a registrant may pose a risk to the public, for example through dishonesty, malpractice or other improper conduct.
In any case where we share information about your application or registration with an organisation outside the UK, we will only permit that organisation to process your personal data for the purposes of fulfilling regulatory responsibilities equivalent to the responsibilities of the GSCC. Any such organisation would be bound by security and confidentiality obligations equivalent to those imposed on the GSCC by the Data Protection Act 1998.
We also use the information in order to monitor trends and provide reports on the Social Care Register. These reports provide statistical data but do not identify individuals.
By signing and sending your application form, you consent to the processing of your personal data in the ways described above.
