Staff administration

The council will process personal information for the purposes of managing contracts of employment relating to:

• current and former employees
• individuals who have applied for permanent or temporary jobs at the council
• councillors and other elected officials
• volunteers

This includes the work of the council, pay and/or pensions, disciplinary and other personnel matters or administering secure access to IT and council systems that hold personal data.

This can also include details of Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks conducted which are necessary for a wide range of roles to ensure the public, particularly children and vulnerable adults, are properly protected.

DBS information will only be used for the specific purpose for which it was requested and for which the applicant’s consent has been given.
