Monitoring and evaluation of our programmes is required to make sure we are providing the best support and service within our funding limits. It also helps our commissioners, such as NHS bodies and Local Authorities, make sure they are receiving best value for their money by contracting services to us. Without monitoring and evaluating the success of EitC programmes, we would be unable to obtain funding meaning that the number of programmes available would decrease. Joining our programmes is optional and you can withdraw at any time. You have a right to view and correct the information recorded about you to help protect your privacy.
Crime prevention and detection is a legitimate interest of EitC in order to protect its property from theft, damage and vandalism. It also protects the safety of staff, other participants and members of the public. The use of CCTV supports this interest. There is signage in and around all sites which operate CCTV and you have a right to request information; this helps to protect your privacy and information rights. CCTV imaging is only accessed by authorised EitC employees and within a secure viewing area. CCTV may be shared with the Police and other third party for crime prevention and detection purposes. It may also be shared to assist in exercising civil rights, such as in the event of a car accident or personal injury.
