This notice provides details of what information we collect from you, what we do with it, and who it might be shared with.

The information is being collected for the following purposes:

1. To keep a record of those employed with Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannanshire Council who have volunteered for Incident Assistance Team membership

The legal basis for each purpose is set out below:

The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 establishes a clear set of roles and responsibilities for those involved in emergency preparation and response at a local level.

Falkirk Council works in partnership with Stirling and Clackmannanshire Councils to ensure that we can respond to emergencies where additional resources are required. That includes establishing a volunteer Incident Assistance Team, with members drawn from Council employees.

For employees of Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannanshire Council who are members of the Team, we will collect your name, address, contact details, information relating to your driving licence and vehicle, your employment information such as who you work for, where you work and PVG membership information. We will also record any training that you have been provided with as part of your membership of the team.

Falkirk Council will receive application forms from Falkirk Council staff and will also receive information relating to Stirling and Clackmannanshire Council employees who are members of the scheme.

Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannanshire Council will share information with each other to ensure that they can respond to an incident if required.

Falkirk Council has a duty to protect public funds. We may check your information within the Council for verification purposes and/or for the prevention of fraud. We may share your information with other organisations where we are required to do so for the purposes of the prevention or detection of crime.

We do not transfer your information outwith the UK.

We keep your information as long as required by law or by our business requirements. We have a Business Classification Scheme in place which sets out the types of records we hold, and how long we hold them - you can access the relevant part of the scheme below.

You do not have to provide information to us, but we will not be able to keep your membership active if you do not.
