We will need to collect personal information about you 

Personal information may range from the everyday (e.g. address and phone number) to the sensitive (e.g. relevant medical  history or criminal history). We may collect the opinions of others about your work performance, your work experience and  qualifications, aptitude test results and other information in connection with your possible work placements.  We will only collect information that is reasonably necessary for the performance of our functions or activities.  We do not collect or use personal information for the purposes of unlawful discrimination. We do not collect personal  information just because we think it could be useful at some future stage if we have no present need for it. We do not routinely  conduct criminal history checks and only do so in order to obtain relevant criminal history with regard to particular jobs you are  offered or for which you are shortlisted.  

If you only browse our website, we do not collect information that identifies you personally, though we may collect information  related to your visit to our website.
