Confidentiality Policy

Our Experts are committed to providing a confidential service to their instructing solicitors and their Client. No identifiable personal information given to our Experts will be shared with any other organisation or individual without the instructing solicitor’s express permission.

Purpose

The purpose of the Confidentiality Policy is to ensure that our experts and their administrative support staff understand the requirements in relation to the disclosure of personal data and confidential information.

Principles

For this policy, confidentiality relates to the transmission of confidential information about individuals or organisations, which comes into our possession through its professional work.

Our Experts hold personal data about Clients which will only be used for the purposes for which it was obtained and will never be disclosed to any other individual or organisation without prior permission from the instructing solicitor unless our Experts are obliged to do so by a Court Order.

All personal data will be handled and managed sensitively and in the strictest confidence. Our experts are:

  • A registered medical practitioner governed by the General Medical Council and the mandates of Good Medical Practice.

  • An optometrist governed by the General Optical Council (GOC).

  • All personal paper-based and electronic data are stored in accordance with GDPR. We will securely destroy paper records when no longer required, or they can be returned to instructing parties on request (at the instructing solicitor’s expense). All physical records are kept in locked premises. All electronic records are password protected.
