Resources for branches and groups
Data protection can be bewildering, and we want to minimise the workload and confusion for you locally with these with tools and guidance.
Branch/Group data consent letter
These are for your existing local contacts to complete. These are the people on your locally held lists that are not held on the MND Association's database, such as local contacts for room bookings, people who donate raffle prizes etc. This is to ensure that all existing records have the correct permissions in place and comply with regulations.
Data gathering forms
Please use these forms to capture the initial details of any new members or contacts. They can be given a postcard (see next heading).
We recommend you keep a stock of these with your meeting supplies. Completed forms should be stored securely in a locked cabinet, or shredded if they have been added to a spreadsheet.

Posters
These give an overview of the new regulations in a handy foldable poster format. It includes "dos and don'ts" to help you understand how to meet the standards set in the new regulations. These will be sent to you separately. Please order hard copies from the Volunteering Team.
Photography Poster
Please use this poster at your events. This will allow you to take photographs and video without asking for separate permission from each attendee.
If anyone tells you they do not want to be photographed, please avoid taking pictures of them and check your photos afterwards, deleting any on which they appear. You may wish to give anyone who does not want their photograph taken a coloured sticker or badge, just to make it easy to identify them.
