It is highly recommended that you obtain a signed privacy statement from any person on whom you keep records, including case studies. You will be required to submit a copy of that privacy statement along with any case study materials, to your tutor so that they may fulfil their role as your training provider.

I will NOT share your information with anyone else other than appointed course tutors (for example if a complaint is raised), or as required for quality verification purposes by the accreditation organisations with whom I work, for legal process, or, on your request to confirm that you have completed my course satisfactorily) without explaining why it is necessary and getting your explicit consent.
I may contact you using the contact preferences you give me in relation to:
