Dolly Parton Imagination Library – Privacy Notice
The Wheatley Foundation is the charitable trust set up by the Wheatley Group. It is funded by the Group and its subsidiaries to benefit our customers.
Maximising social inclusion, jobs, and training and education outcomes for our customers is a key Wheatley Group priority.
To support this, The Wheatley Foundation is in partnership with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library (DPIL) to provide children who live in our homes and are aged 0-5, a free book every month. Each month a new, carefully selected book will arrive by mail in your child’s name and be delivered directly to your home. There is no cost or obligation to your family.
When you apply for your children to receive books through the Imagination Library, staff at the Wheatley Group will input the information you have provided into the DPIL book ordering system. After 6 weeks, your child will start to receive free monthly books.
Wheatley Foundation and Dolly Parton Imagination Library will be the "data controllers" of the personal information that you provide to us. This information is required to process and manage your child’s registration with the Imagination Library.
Our Data Protection Officer is Ranald Brown who can be contacted on wheatleydataprotectionofficer@wheatley-group.com
