I declare that the particulars given in this application form are true.

Consent to Share - What we will do with your information
This form explains how your personal information will be used as part of your assessment for housing. We are committed to protecting your privacy. We try to meet the highest standards when collecting and using personal information. We adhere to the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998 and sharing personal information. We are also registered on the public register of data controllers, with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Agreement to share your information:
The Housing Options partners will collect and share your information with Glasgow City Council, other public organisations and relevant agencies so we can understand your needs better, improve services and avoid asking you for the same information more than once. This might include workers involved in your care, for example your nurse, social worker, support worker, future housing providers or other relevant agency as discussed with you.
The Housing Options partners, as landlords, will also collect and share your information for the purposes of assessing your needs for housing and to develop a Common Housing Register (CHR). This will make it easier for you to be considered for housing by a number of landlords and avoid you filling in separate registration forms for each. This means when you fill in a housing registration form you agree to your information being shared with other landlords, with other public organisations, organisations that handle public funds, social work services, your support worker, your nurse and other relevant agency as discussed with you.
There may be occasions when there is sufficient concern about your or others safety or wellbeing, or for the detection and prevention of crime that your information will be shared before your consent is given or even if you do not agree to your information being shared.
Consent Statement:
I understand that information is held about me and agree that my personal information may be shared with other relevant agencies and professionals where you consider it appropriate. I have had an opportunity to discuss what this means.
I understand that the information I have given in this registration form is true. I also undertake to tell you about people aged 16 years or over who live in my home.
