Anti-Racism Policy

How we keep your information private

GRASAC is working towards demonstrating its commitment to anti-racism by explicitly becoming an anti-racist employer, charitable organisation and service provider. We believe in a fully inclusive service, with anti-racist practices throughout our organisation. We know that Black and minoritised women continue to be disadvantaged and harmed by traditional white supremacist beliefs. We are committed to developing throughout 2024, and beyond, an organisation that believes and demonstrates an intersectional approach for all women and girls, through our policies, procedures, and training of all staff and volunteers.

We take your privacy very seriously. Privacy is at the heart of our service and a fundamental part of creating trust between our clients, staff and volunteers at GRASAC.

We are committed to being transparent about why we need your personal data and what we do with it. We want everyone who comes to GRASAC for support to feel confident and comfortable with how information you share with us will be collected, recorded, stored, shared, looked after, and deleted. When you first come to GRASAC, your worker will talk you through the privacy agreement to check that it makes sense and you agree to us keeping your data.

Staff at GRASAC are here to help, support and advise you following the sexual violence you have experienced.

Key facts for you to know:
o Staff keep notes of each time they speak with you on GRASAC’s case management system
o We share information about you when we need to with other members of GRASAC staff. This is to reduce the number of times you retell someone what has happened to you.
