When registering with Opportunity Lambeth or the Youth Promise, the information we may collect from you comprises:

Purpose

The purpose of collecting this information is as follows:

  • Some ethnic groups are disproportionately represented in the number of unemployed residents in the borough. Lambeth Council therefore has an interest in ensuring these groups are targeted for employment support, and this requires monitoring of ethnicity data to understand whether current provision is having a positive impact
  • Enable us to contact you with the most appropriate support and opportunities that you have consented to receive including jobs, apprenticeship, training, work experience and events
  • Avoid the unnecessary need for you to complete a new registration form each time you want to apply for an opportunity on this portal
  • Monitoring the success and performance of services offered and to undertake service evaluations including the evaluation of outcomes for clients over a term no longer than five years
  • Monitoring of compliance with equal opportunities legislation
  • To keep a record of employment, unemployment, economic inactivity and other employment-related statistics in London
  • To provide evidence for strategic planning and funding of future support and services in the borough
