Why do we collect this information?
We are collecting this information in order to help individuals reflect on their workplace experiences, and build up a picture through survey responses of the experiences of paediatricians in the workplace, both successes and challenges.
This survey is anonymous; we do not aim to collect any personal data. If we receive any personal data, we will anonymise this and delete it.
Who might we share your information with?
We only share your story either to the team of researchers/analysts or more widely anonymously as part of Thrive Paediatrics resources with your consent (by ticking the relevant box). We will only ever share your story anonymised.
How long do we hold your information for?
We put security measures in place to ensure that your information is securely stored.
We will not retain any personal data. We will retain anonymised data for as long as it is useful for analysis and/or historical purposes.
Transferring information outside of the UK
To provide some products and services we or our data processors may transfer and process information in countries outside of the UK. Some of these countries, such as those in the EEA, will have an officially recognised equivalent level of protection to the UK (adequacy decision). A list of these countries can be found on the ICO website.
Where there is no adequacy decision, we will take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that your information is protected by having in place a recognised safeguard with our partners and suppliers, such as regulatory approved Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules or Codes of Conduct.
To find out more about any specific uses of information in countries outside of the UK, or for further information about the safeguards that we have put in place, please contact the RCPCH Data Protection Officer: information.governance@rcpch.ac.u
