Privacy

The Connexions Direct website is a sub-site of the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Department's Privacy Statement applies.

Under the Data Protection Act 1998, we have legal obligations towards you in the way that we deal with data collected from you.. We use leading technologies and encryption software to safeguard your data, and keep strict security standards to prevent any unauthorised access to it. We do not pass on your details to any third party or government department unless you give us permission to do so, or we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it.

The Department for Children, Schools and Families website, with the exception of the registration systems and the Discussions facility, does not store or capture personal information, but merely logs the user's IP address (Internet Protocol: standard allowing data to be transmitted between two devices) which is automatically recognised by the webserver.

This privacy statement covers both the DCSF website www.dcsf.gov.uk, Connexions Direct www.connexions-direct.com and jobs4u www.connexions-direct.com/jobs4u and subsequent subsites of their domains. Other websites linked to from these domains are not covered by this privacy statement.
