Confidentiality
Any requests for information, advice or guidance will be treated in the strictest confidence.
The first member of staff you will be speaking to may be passing the details of your requests to other member of the team to ensure we can offer you a personalised service which will match to your needs and aspiration. We may involve staff who can give you expert advice on a training programme you may be interested in or who can help you to communicate your needs should you ask us to do so.
There may be times when we would need to speak to an alternative provider in order to help your with queries but if we need to talk to them on your behalf, we will ask you for your explicit authorisation to discuss the level of details you have granted us to share.
