From the 25th May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulations (commonly referred to as GDPR) came in to effect. These regulations are a significant upgrade on the way data protection is managed in the UK, building on the existing legislation that came in to effect in 1998. Mary Ward Legal Centre is committed to meeting the requirement in the new regulations and want to ensure that the personal data of clients, staff and others who work with us, are only collected because we need them, are kept safely, are not shared with anyone who should not see them and are disposed of when we no longer need them.
Our Data Management and Records Policy includes more information about GDPR and you can view a copy by clicking on the link below:

There is also plenty of information about GDPR on the Information Commissioner’s website. This can be accessed through the link below:

We are required to tell you the legal basis for collecting your personal data, what we intend to do with the information and who we share it with. We set this out in our a privacy notice, which you can access by clicking the following link: MWLC Data-Protection-Privacy-Notice updated
Our Data Protection lead is Helen Hart. If you have any concerns about data protection then please contact Helen by email at dpo@marywardcentre.ac.uk
