We have a data protection policy. The relevant information about your data is copied below. If you wish to see the whole policy it can be accessed on our website. If you wish we will provide you with a paper copy. We are required to get you sign and date this so that we can hold data on you, in order to provide you with our services.
For clients the information stored is their postal address, contact phone number and email address if they wish to be contacted by email, along with details of their treatment dates. This allows us to arrange transport or therapies for them. It may be used to inform them about Driving Force developments. No medical information is stored.

We have very strict guidelines on confidentiality for all volunteers, this includes confidentiality concerning all medical information.
