Requests for mental health related support and information

If you contact us with such a query we will share the information with Mind to the extent necessary for them to respond directly to you with the support or information you require.
We will send you an email to confirm we have done so and giving you the opportunity to let us know if you are no longer happy for us to share this information. If you then tell us you are not happy for Mind to have this information or to contact you we will request that Mind delete the personal information that we have provided them, including the forwarded email, immediately.
