I understand that:
If I participate in the government-funded childcare offer I may be contacted by
researchers appointed by the Welsh Government and information collected from me
may be used in the following ways:
to measure how well Welsh Government and Local Authorities are
delivering their services to you and your child;
to support improvements to these services;
to allocate money to Local Authorities and others; or
to support wider research into the provision of services to you and your
child, or others;
to link data from this form to other data sources for the purpose of
evaluating the impact of the project on the individuals who take part.
The data sent to Welsh Government will not be used by them:
to take any action in relation to you or your child; nor
to identify you or your child in any reports.
The Data Protection Act gives individuals certain rights in respect of the personal
data held on them. Whilst not intending to be exhaustive, examples of these rights
include:
the right to ask for and receive copies of the personal data the Welsh
Government holds about you (you may have to pay a small fee for this),
although some information can sometimes be legitimately withheld
the right, in some circumstances, to prevent the processing of personal
data if doing so will cause damage or distress
the right to ask for wrong information to be put right
You also have the right to ask the Information Commissioner, who
enforces and oversees the Data Protection Act, to assess whether or
not the processing of your personal data is likely to comply with the
provisions of the Act.
If you have any further questions about how data about you (or your child) will be
used by Welsh Government, wish to prevent the processing of your personal data, or
if you have any concerns about the accuracy of personal data or wish to exercise any
of your rights under the Data Protection Act, please write to us using the details
below.
