Appendix 2

A Data Protection Impact Assessment was completed as part of the preparation of revising the contractual Terms and Conditions for the provision of residential and nursing care for older people. As a service provider, care homes will need to hold information about the clients who either reside there or are being assessed as potential future residents. Holding this information will aid the provider to ensure clients are supported in the most appropriate manner and avoid clients having to repeat the same information multiple times. Data will need to be shared between the Council and care homes to assess prospective clients, review clients, share any concerns about clients and for payments.

Contractually, Providers will be expected to have systems in place to reduce any risks such as secure e-mails. Data will be collected, used and shared for the intended purposes only. Providers will have a clear privacy notice in place and follow Information Governance requirements.
