By law, everyone working in, or for, the NHS and adults’ and children’s social care must respect your privacy and keep your information safe. The Dorset Care Record is held on a secure computer system. Data protection is taken very seriously. We will ensure that your record is only viewed by professionals who need to see it when providing your care.
Under the Data Protection Act (2018) and the UK GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation, you are able to ask to see any information held about you. If you wish to see this information, please contact the organisation who is providing your care or the DCR Data Protection Officer via email at dcr.dpo@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk.
