Common Allocation Policy for Tees Valley Lettings Partnership
Information sharing, confidentiality and data protection
All information received relating to an applicant's housing circumstances will be treated as confidential in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018. Information will only be shared in accordance with our information sharing protocols.
In dealing with an application for housing, we may need to contact other relevant agencies or organisations for further information, for example medical professionals, probation service, former or current landlords. This information may be shared with other partners as part of the registration process.
Where an applicant has difficulty directly communicating themselves, they can name an advocate or interpreter to communicate on their behalf.
