Privacy Notice
Southend United Community & Educational Trust (SUCET) take your privacy very seriously. This Privacy Notice sets out how we use and look after the personal information we collect from you. We are the data controller, responsible for the processing of any personal data you give us. We take reasonable care to keep your information secure and to prevent any unauthorised access to or use of it.
What personal data we hold on you
Personal data means any information about an individual from which that individual can be identified. We collect, use, store and transfer some personal data of our participants [and their parents or guardians], and other Trust members.
You may give us your information to sign up for one of our projects, buy one of our soccer schools/After School clubs or football development programmes or, to generally communicate with us.
The information you give us may include your name, date of birth, address, e-mail address, phone number, gender, and the contact details of a third party in the case of emergency. We may also ask for relevant health information, which is classed as special category personal data, for the purposes of your health, wellbeing, welfare and safeguarding. Where we hold this data, it will be with the explicit consent of the participant or, if applicable, the participant’s parent or guardian.
Where we need to collect personal data to fulfil responsibilities and you do not provide that data, we may not be able honour or administer your information.
Why we need your personal data
We will only use personal data for any purpose for which it has been specifically provided. We will mainly use this data for monitoring and evaluation purposes.
We may be required to pass on this data to our funding providers and partner organisations; this will only be done for monitoring and evaluation purposes. These partner organisations will not contact you unless you provide explicit consent on our data collection documents or case study consent forms.
In line with the SUCET Data Protection Policy, these data collection documents i.e., data capture forms are only used by SUCET staff, they are used to track attendance and use of services. It is the manager’s responsibility to devise data collection, evaluation and monitoring procedures such as these forms which meet requirements of the Trust.
At SUCET we use a web- based monitoring system called Views (www.viewsapp.net) Views is a project management and impact reporting platform developed by Substance, a social research company. Views is a secure, fully encrypted and password protected system that has passed Government penetration tests and demonstrated all required compliances. Only through gathering information and evidence are we able to demonstrate and therefore continue to access funding through organisations like the Premier League Charitable Fund (PLCF), the English Football League Trust (EFLT) and National League Trust (NLT) to support groups and individuals in the local community.
We also use CoordinateSport (as of 2021) https://coordinate.cloud/ which is a GDPR compliant centralised project management tool specifically developed for sporting organisations that deals with all the key elements of coaching from scheduling of staff and timesheet processing through to attendee management, health & safety and reporting.
Another online system we use is MyConcern. MyConcern is a secure and trusted safeguarding software used by schools, colleges and other organisations in the UK and worldwide. Created by former senior police officers with over 60 years of experience in safeguarding and child protection, it enables staff to easily record, report and manage all safeguarding, wellbeing and pastoral concerns.
MyConcern is intuitive to use, saves significant amounts of time and provides peace of mind. The safeguarding software achieves all of this while enabling early intervention and allowing a team to be built around the person at risk.
As a team we will use this system to report any safeguarding concerns which are automatically flagged up to the Trust Senior Safeguarding Manager (CEO Dale Spiby) and Designated Safeguarding Manager (Kylie Halls).
