The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2000 recognises that, as a member of the public, you have the right to know how public services, such as the NHS, make their operational decisions and how public money is used. It gives anyone a general right to request access to see official information held by public authorities, such as Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust.
We publish a lot of information in our publication scheme so please check there first before submitting a freedom of information request.
When you make a Freedom of Information request Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust will process your information in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation. The trust will use your data in order to respond to your FOI request as we have a legal duty to do so under Article 6(1)(c) of GDPR. For further information please see our Privacy page on the website.
Data Protection Impact Assessments
Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) are an approach to projects that promotes privacy and data protection compliance from the start. NHS guidance and best practice indicates that a data protection impact assessment is completed for projects to help identify and minimise any data protection risks. It is also a legal requirement under the General Data Protection Regulation to conduct an impact assessment for any high risk projects relating to data protection.
