How we handle your information

We provide a confidential service and you do not have to tell the helpline worker anything you don’t want to, including giving your name or location. We record the details of all enquiries on our secure database but keep any personal information separate from the general themes of what you are telling us.

We do share the information from the general themes with Healthwatch England and the people who provide and buy services in the city, but this never includes information that would identify you.

The only time we may break confidentiality is if we believed a child or vulnerable adult were at risk of harm. We would explain during the call if we felt that this was the case, and what action we were going to take.

Who can contact our information line?

Anyone who wants to find out about health and care in Leeds including people who are using services, their friends, relatives or carers and professionals.

If you live outside of the Leeds area, please visit http://www.healthwatch.co.uk/find-local-healthwatch to find your local Healthwatch.
