Recruitment Privacy Statement

The Diocese of Westminster is the data controller for the information you provide during the recruitment process unless otherwise stated. If you have any queries about the process or how we
handle your information please contact our HR team at humanresources@rcdow.org.uk or Human Resources department, Vaughan House, 46 Francis Street, London, SW1P 1QN.

What will we do with the information you provide to us?

All the information you provide during the process will only be used for the purpose of progressing your application, or to fulfil legal or regulatory requirements if necessary.

We will not share any of the information you provide with any third parties during the recruitment process. The information you provide will be held securely by us and/or our data processors whether the information is in electronic or physical format and will be in line with GDPR rules.

We will use the contact details you provide to us to contact you to progress your application. We will use the other information you provide to assess your suitability for the role you have applied for.

What information do we ask for, and why?

We do not collect more information than we need to fulfil our stated purposes and will not retain it for longer than is necessary.

The information we ask for is used to assess your suitability for employment. You don’t have to provide what we ask for but it might affect your application if you don’t.

Application stage

We ask you for your personal details including name and contact details. We will also ask you about your previous employment, education, referees and for answers to questions relevant to the role you have applied for. Our HR staff involved in the recruitment process will have access to all this information.

You will also be asked to provide equal opportunities information. This is not mandatory information – if you don’t provide it, it will not affect your application. This information will not be made available to any staff outside of our recruitment team, including hiring managers, in a way which can identify you. Any information you do provide, will be used only to produce and monitor equal opportunities statistics.
