Why health and wellbeing

We're all human! However a bit of effort can pay off in many ways. In this section you can find out about different ways to stay well in mind and body whatever your situation. We've got information on how to take care of yourself, including information on dental hygiene, foot care, weight loss, medication, nutrition, alcohol use, giving up smoking, and exercise.

Even if you already have a health problem or disability there are lots of things you can do to stay as healthy as possible and to remain as independent as possible.

We collect personal information from you and from third parties anyone acting on your behalf, for example, health care providers, case- managers, schools etc. Through your contact with us, including by phone, by email, through our website, by post, by filling in application or other forms, or face to face for example, in consultations, assessments and treatment. If we provide you with services through an insurance policy, we may collect information from your insurance provider.

This privacy information sets out the purposes for which we process your personal information. We have also documented the legal reasons for which we may process your personal information. We normally process standard personal information as a necessary prerequisite to provide our services. Another lawful ground for processing is when the processing will be in ours or a third parties legitimate interests. In relation to special categories information, our lawful reason for processing your personal information relates to article 9 of the GDPR, which is:.

We will only ask you for permission to process your personal information if there is no other legal reason for us to process it. If we need to ask for your permission, we will make it clear that this is what we are asking for and will not proceed without your consent. For example, in our IAPT NHS service, we will ask if you consent to your personal data being securely transferred to the Department of Health for statistical use that is in the national interest.

Starjumpz may from time to time engage in, or run research projects aimed at contributing to the wider field of promoting health and wellbeing.

In these circumstances, the research will be ethically approved, and any personal identifiable information will be anonymised.

They sign a confidentiality agreement which restricts the sharing of any personal information which they may become party to as a result of their employment or professional work with us as associates, and we would take any breach of this agreement very seriously should this ever occur.

Information provided in confidence will only be used for the purposes to which you consent, unless there are other circumstances covered by the law. This is reinforced under our internal Confidentiality Code of Conduct, where all staff are required to protect your information, inform you of how your information will be used and allow you to decide if and how your information can be shared.

All Starjumpz staff and associates are required to undertake annual training in data protection, confidentiality, information management and record control and information security. Some of our services rely on working closely with, and coordinating care with health care professionals or other professionals such as those in education or social services. Information sharing is governed by specific rules and laws including the Common Law Duty of Confidentiality and our employees and associates would not share any of your personal data or aspect of your treatment with a third party without your prior consent.
