Your Information and Your Preferences
On receipt of this form, you will be registered as a carer with the Carers Centre, and information provided on this form will be recorded on the Centre’s computerised information system. All information will be treated as strictly confidential, kept securely and not shared without your consent or knowledge, except under exceptional circumstances.
Information Sharing
As part of the Carers (Scotland) Act 2016, we are required to provide data to the Scottish Government for the annual Carers Census. This is for statistical and research purposes only and statisticians/researchers will not be able to identify individual carers from the data that they will use.
To ensure that carers receive the support they require, the Carers Centre may need to share relevant information with other agencies on their behalf. Only the minimum information required will be shared, and only with those people who need to know. If the Carers Centre does this, it will only be with the carer’s knowledge and consent.
Further information is contained in the Carer Registration Pack leaflet and our Privacy Notice which is available from the Carers Centre and on our website.

In order to provide one-to-one support to carers who contact the Carers Centre, or who are referred to the Centre by a third party, it may be necessary to contact you by phone or by post. If you are also happy for us to contact you by email or text, please tick as appropriate:
