We specifically work in partnership with the county’s NHS and care organisations as part of 1 of only 14 Integrated Care Systems (ICS) across the country. This is a voluntary partnership that is working to ensure you receive high quality joined up care when you need it; this partnership is known as One Gloucestershire.
As part of that partnership, an overview of your social care information forms part of Gloucestershire’s shared care digital record system. This system is known as JUYI (Joining Up Your Information) and allows Gloucestershire health and social care professionals involved in your care access to the most up to date information about you.
For more information about JUYI please visit the JUYI website.
Your personal data may also be shared with regulatory and statutory bodies who assess council performance and financial spend, as well as where required by law, such as to prevent and detect crime or fraudulent activity.
Gloucestershire County Council uses third party suppliers to provide Information Technology and Communications solutions, support and hosting services. These organisations may process your personal data only where it is necessary as part of the service they provide. These organisations are contractually obliged to handle and protect your data in line with data protection legislation and council policies.
