How we use your information

Who we are

This website is run by Oaktree Group, made up of Oaktree Childcare Limited (company number 10445560) and its group companies, 9 Neptune Court, Whitehills Business Park, Blackpool FY4 5LZ. We are the controller of the personal information described here. You can contact us about anything in this notice at info@oaktreechildcare.co.uk or on 01253 978936.

What we collect and why

• Contact form and emails. Your name, organisation, email, phone number and message, so we can reply to your enquiry. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us.
• Job applications. The details and CV you send us, so we can consider you for a role. Our lawful basis is taking steps to enter into a contract with you. If we offer you a role, we carry out safer recruitment checks, including an enhanced DBS check and references, because the law requires them for work with children and young people.

Please do not send us a child's name or personal details through the contact form. Referrals should be sent by secure email to our referrals team.

Who we share it with

We use service providers to run this website, our email and our recruitment, such as our website host and the job sites and recruitment system we advertise through. They only use your information to provide their service to us. We may also share information where the law requires it, for example with regulators. We never sell your information.

Some of these providers may store information outside the UK. Where they do, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, as UK data protection law requires.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries for up to 12 months after we last hear from you. We keep applications from unsuccessful candidates for 6 months after the role closes. If you join us, your application becomes part of your staff record.

Your rights

You can ask to see the information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it, delete it, limit how we use it or stop using it. You can also object to how we use it. Email info@oaktreechildcare.co.uk and we will respond within one month.
