• We will only share your information outside of our partner organisations with your consent (unless the health and safety of others is at risk, the law requires it or it is required to carry out a statutory function)
• If you are happy with how we use your information you do not need to do anything
• If you do not want your information to be used for any purpose beyond providing your care please let us know so we can code your record appropriately
