Privacy statement

Norfolk County Council is the data controller for the personal information collected through this consultation.

We would like to hear your views on the proposals. We will use the information you provide to:

• understand how the proposals may affect different people and communities;
• analyse the feedback received;
• understand the views of different stakeholder groups;
• prepare consultation summaries and reports; and
• inform the consultation and decision-making process.

The form collects your consultation response, comments, stakeholder category and school connection. It does not ask for your name, postcode, contact details or other information that directly identifies you.

Please only include information that is necessary and relevant to your response. Avoid including names, contact details or other information that could identify you or someone else, as well as sensitive personal information such as details about health, ethnicity or religion.

Our lawful basis for using your information is public task under Article 6(1)(e) of the UK GDPR, as the processing is necessary for Norfolk County Council to carry out its public functions relating to school organisation, education provision and consultation.

These functions are supported by the:

• Education and Inspections Act 2006;
• Education Act 1996;
• School Admissions Code 2021;
• School Organisation (Establishment and Discontinuance of Schools) (England) Regulations 2013; and
• School Organisation (Prescribed Alterations to Maintained Schools) (England) Regulations 2013.

Your response may be accessed by authorised Norfolk County Council officers, elected members and relevant governance or decision-making bodies where this is necessary for the consultation. Approved organisations providing IT or administrative support may process information on behalf of Norfolk County Council.

Consultation responses may be summarised in reports or discussed at relevant school meetings to help inform consideration of the proposals. We will take steps to remove or redact identifying information before responses are shared, discussed or published, so that individual respondents are not identified. However, information may be disclosed where Norfolk County Council is required or permitted to do so by law.

We will keep consultation responses and associated records for five years, after which they will be securely deleted or anonymised.

Returning your response

You can respond to the consultation online through Citizen Space, by returning a completed paper form through your school office, or by emailing your comments directly to us.

If you return a completed paper form through your school office, the school will scan the form and email it to Norfolk County Council’s School Organisation Team. This enables us to receive and consider your response.

If you prefer, you can email your comments directly to us. Your email may include your name, email address and other personal information contained in your message, signature or attachments. Once we have recorded and processed your consultation response, we will securely delete the email and any personal information that is not needed for the consultation record.

• Paper forms and comments sent directly by email do not result in Citizen Space collecting technical information about you, such as your IP address or information about your browser or device.

For more information about how Norfolk County Council uses your information and your information rights, please read the Norfolk County Council general privacy notice.

We will use any personal information to understand how different groups of people feel about our proposed term dates for 2028/29

Your responses to questions will be recorded once you move on to the next page.
