Who are we?
North Yorkshire Council is a ‘data controller’ as defined by Article 4(7) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). Ourselves, health professionals from Harrogate and district foundation trust and education settings are working together to help children grow and learn with a particular focus on children’s speech, language and communication needs. We will be running a pilot called “grow and learn” in the Whitby and East Ryedale areas over the next 12 months with programmes designed to help improve these important skills.
We have appointed Veritau Ltd to be our data protection officer.
