Annual student survey privacy statement
This privacy statement relates to our annual student survey, and is supplementary to our website privacy policy. View our information and privacy section for related policies and information about the cookies we collect.
What information do we collect?
For the purposes of distributing the survey, the following personal details are stored;
- First name
- Email address
- Student ID number
We are unable to view your name, email address or student ID number against your response.
We will collect answers to questions relating to your course and experiences while studying at the Tavistock. We will also ask for special category data (in the ‘about yourself’ section of the survey), for example your racial or ethnic origin to analyse our performance, and whether certain characteristics are consistently experiencing our delivery differently. These questions are voluntary.
What do we use your information for?
We care about the quality of the experience you are receiving as a student with us at any site of delivery. The survey gives us valuable feedback to help us to learn, grow, improve and develop for you and for future students.
Our legal basis
Please see the relevant section in our main privacy policy.
How will we use your data?
Using our third party survey provider, we are able to produce targeted emails to those who have not yet completed the survey, without us knowing who those people are.
We use the email address and phone number you provided us with during enrolment or that you have updated on our system via MyTAP self-service to promote the survey. It is in line with acceptable use of emails under UK law.
Incomplete responses will not be included in the final dataset and any remaining incomplete responses will be deleted when the survey is closed.
Wedo not share the full dataset with any course team members (including course administrators). It is analysed by a small number of administrative staff. Individual responses are collated together to provide aggregate data in the form of statistics and graphs for course teams so that they can report on student satisfaction on their courses as part of the Annual Review of Courses process.
The ‘about yourself’ section (special category data) of the survey is removed from this course-level dataset.
The qualitative and quantitative data is analysed at an overview level and an overview report is produced. The data in this report is anonymous. The report is published on the Education and Training website and received by relevant committees and bodies to discuss and agree on actions to take based on the results.
Anonymous quotes from the written (qualitative) comments may be used for marketing purposes.
Your participation in the survey is also subject to the privacy policy of our third party survey provider Qualtrics. View the Qualtrics privacy policy.
How long will we keep your data?
The depersonalised dataset is kept for 10 years.
