The Regional Adoption Agency is made up of Blackpool Council and Lancashire County Council.
These two authorities are Data Controllers for the purpose of collecting and using information from potential adopters, members of the household, adoptive family members, birth relatives, other significant persons and partner agencies such as the Police, Health Services and the Disclosure and Barring Service in order to carry out statutory functions around the recruitment, assessment and approval of adopters; matching of children in need of adoptive families; and post-adoption support.
Lancashire County Council is acting as the host organisation for the provision for these services. The provision of these services will involve the sharing of personal data between Blackpool Council and Lancashire County Council.
A Data Controller is an individual or organisation that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
Lancashire County Council and Blackpool Council are registered as data controllers with the Information Commissioner's Office.
