Data Retention Policy

How long we keep personal information and how we dispose of it.

Last updated: January 2025

Our approach

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting and reporting requirements.

Retention periods

  • Referral and accommodation records: retained for the duration of support and for a defined period afterwards in line with statutory and safeguarding requirements.
  • Enquiry and contact records: retained only as long as needed to respond and for a reasonable follow-up period.
  • Financial records: retained in line with HMRC and company law requirements.

Secure disposal

When information is no longer needed, we dispose of it securely — deleting electronic records and confidentially destroying paper records.
