Legal basis for processing

Information will be shared between the partner organisations and the Changing Futures Programme for the purposes of enhanced support provision and direct care under the following;

GDPR, Article 6(1)(e) Public task and Article 9(2)(h) Preventative and Occupational Medicine, DPA2018 Schedule 1, Part 1 Special category data and criminal conviction data, paragraph 2 (Health and Social Care Purposes), DPA2018 Schedule 1, Part 3 paragraph 30 (Protecting individuals’ vital interests)

Changing Futures will also act as a Data Processor on behalf of DLUHC to provide baseline and continuing evaluation data directly to the Researchers appointed by DLUHC.

DLUHC, as an emanation of the Crown, has ordinary common law powers to do whatever a natural person may do (subject to overarching legal constraints), in contrast with bodies which have powers conferred on them by statute and no powers under the common law and can share and process data for the purposes of research so long as that sharing is not otherwise prohibited by law and is in compliance with the Data Protection Legislation, Human Rights Act 1998 and the common law duty of confidentiality.

DLUHC will rely on the following lawful bases to process the personal data provided by the programme and individuals themselves.

• Article 6(1)(e) UK GDPR - the processing is necessary for DLUHC to perform a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, in particular to support households that are homeless or at risk of being homeless through furthering our understanding of repeat homelessness, the success of prevention activities, the outcomes of those in receipt of homelessness services, and the causes and factors associated with homelessness. In order to rely on Article 6(1)(e), Article 6(3) requires there to be a separate legal basis laid down in law to justify the processing. DLUHC is relying on its common law powers to justify this processing.
• Article 9(2)(g) UK GDPR – the processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest. DLUHC will rely on meeting the condition in Schedule 1, Part 2, paragraph 6 of the DPA 2018 to process Special Category Personal Data in accordance with section 10(3) of the DPA 2018
• The conditions in Article 10 of the UK GDPR and section 10(5) of the DPA 2018 will also be met to process criminal offence data since processing is authorised under Section 10(5) and Schedule 1, Part 2, paragraph 6 of the DPA 2018.
