We are committed to being as open as possible. This includes being clear about how we assess and make decisions and how we will use your application form and other documents you give us. We are happy to provide you with copies of the information we hold about you, including our assessment of your application. As a public organisation we have to follow the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Freedom of Information Act 2000. We are also listed as a public authority under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. By law, we may have to provide your application documents and information about our assessment to any member of the public who asks for them under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

We will use this application form and the other information you give us, including any personal information, for the following purposes:

• To decide whether to give you a grant.
• To provide copies to other individuals or organisations who are helping us assess and monitor grants, including the Arts Council (ACE) and British Film Institute (BFI). After we reach a decision, we will also tell them the outcome of your application and, if appropriate, why we did not offer you a grant.
