Nights Away Notification

 

Nights Away Notification Form

PURPOSE AND USE: This form provides the information a Commissioner required to APPROVE an event to take place (i.e. POR 9.1b/9.1c). The Permit holder is responsible for ensuring that the appropriate Commissioner is informed about each section attending a nights away event (even a District or County event). For all Nights Away events the information below should be with your Commissioner (or appointee) 7 days before the event (in normal circumstances). How the information is passed on will depend on local arrangements (this may for example be telephone call, email, or online form). Please ensure that your GSL/DESC is also aware of the event.

DATA PROTECTION: This form is used to collect information about you and your team for the purpose of approving the nights away activity. This is to be used by your Commissioner. As part of this form we collect personal data about you and your team. This detail is required so that we can check that everyone meets the membership and vetting requirements for the event and that appropriate permit holders are in place. We do not share your personal data provided in this form with any third parties. We take your personal data privacy seriously. The data you provide to us is securely stored (based on local arrangements) and we will keep the data we capture from this form for 2 months after event for any queries that may arise then it will be securely destroyed.
