Sharing information
While processing your application the council may check information provided by you, or information about you provided by a third party, with other information held by us such as occupational therapy and Tayside Joint Valuation Board. We may also get information from certain third parties or share information with them in order to check its accuracy, prevent and detect crime, protect public funds or where required by law. It may therefore be necessary to undertake checks of the information provided and to do this it is necessary to pass the information contained in the completed application forms to the council's finance, social work and other council sections.
We will not share your information with any other organisations unless required to do so by law.
