Who we share your information with
We will publish anonymised (you cannot be identified) feedback and case studies, we will also share these with other agencies. This is so that we can encourage wider use of our service and improve our service. The anonymous feedback and case studies will only be collected with your consent.
Any information which is shared will only be shared on a need to know basis, with appropriate individuals. Only the minimum information for the purpose will be shared.
Your personal information will also be shared with third parties contracted by the County Council to provide a service to the County Council. These service providers are known as data processors and have a legal obligation under GDPR and to the County Council to look after your personal information and only use it for providing that service. For example, Microsoft provide many of our IT solutions.

You can withdraw consent at any time, until we have fully anonymised your feedback or case study by emailing: familyhubs@norfolk.gov.uk
