We will use the data you provide when applying for a place on these courses as follows:
Name, Email and Mobile phone number
- This is the key information we need in order to know who you are and to enable us to get in touch with you.
- We use email for all correspondence so will confirm your place on courses by email and to give you any other information you need. We will also send you a reminder about:-
- the course a few days prior to the start date.
- We will only contact you by telephone if there is a last-minute change to arrangements which you need to be aware of.
- If we don’t get a response from you to an email when we have asked for one, we may try to contact you by phone or text as a check as to whether our email has arrived.
- If you do not cancel your place and do not arrive for the course, we may email you to suggest that you re-book in the future.
Special requirements
This is for you to make us aware of anything you think we should know about – for example a disability or difficulty where we may be able to provide support to enable you to attend the course or help you to get the most from it. When you tell us of a requirement we may ask for more information about it so that we fully understand the issues involved before deciding whether we can offer assistance.
How you heard about Recovery in Mind
We want to know how our message is getting out into the community and what publicity and advertising works.
Reason for attending
Our courses are primarily for those with a mental health challenge. We are happy for healthcare staff and carers to attend to learn more about what we do, but too many people who don’t have a mental health challenge will affect the balance of the courses, so we check the reasons for attending as people book and may ask healthcare staff or carers to attend alternative courses.
Services available to you
We need to know what support our students receive and will use this anonymously for statistical reporting.

We expect to keep this information for the next three years after which time it will be deleted. We will never share your name, email address or phone number with anyone else and will only contact you by email:-
