How we may use the information you provide

Any information given in this application form may be shared with third parties. This may include London Borough of Lambeth’s partners in the scheme; in certain circumstances, we may share the information with other Council departments, including Social Care Services, if we believe someone maybe at risk.

Lambeth has a duty of care to protect its residents, and as such, we will raise a safeguarding alert with the appropriate agencies if we believe that it is the best course of action to protect somebody who may be at risk of harm, neglect or abuse.

I am aware that if I provide false or inaccurate information Lambeth Council may take action against me, including legal action.
