Privacy notices - Statutory Consultation Exercises in Relation to Changes to Schools
-
Purpose
To ensure the involvement of local communities in proposed changes to schools -
Description
Certain proposals for changes to schools are subject to statutory consultation exercises, in the course of which the Council will collect personal data from respondents.
Responses are included within Council Committee papers, which are published on the Highland Council website. If you do not wish your response to be made publicly available, you should clearly write on the document: “I wish my response to be considered as confidential with access restricted to Councillors and Council Officers of Highland Council”.

If you don't give us your information
The relevant legislation requires the Council to respond to those who submit written responses to the consultation exercise. An anonymous response would leave us unable to comply with this requirement, and for that reason could not be accepted.
