About Tudor House Holistic Centre
Our Vision: When we moved into the building in the summer or 2019 it had been empty for 3 years. It was cold, damp and musty, but clearly had the potential to be a lovely cosy place, with many original features still in place and a lovely welcoming feel. Our vision was to create a place where many healing and community activities could take place, enabling this beautiful place to be shared with the people of Stafford and elsewhere.
Fees are paid on a casual basis, which is particularly helpful for people starting their own businesses who maybe are reluctant to take on extended rental commitments. Now it has been transformed and redecorated, and all the rooms are available for a variety of uses ranging from classes and workshops to individual treatments and counselling. Each room has been given a personal touch, for example with house plants, handmade signage for the rooms and outside and appropriate ornaments and books.
Tudor House is located in a historical Colonnade off Eastgate Street with roots dating back to the 16th century. The entrance hall has a 19th century staircase and an attractive alcove on the wall (part of the original fireplace) together with a selection of prints and ornaments with a medieval feel and a hand embroidered wall hanging at the top of the stairs. It is located in the heart of the town of Stafford, being a 2-minute walk from the town centre and close to all the town centre shops.
The rooms themselves are named after previous residents of the property – for example, Mary’s Bower is named after Mary Barker, the lady who first decided to rent out the property in the early 1700s! Everyone who has used the building has loved it straight away, and we are looking forward to sharing this building with more people who can use this building for healing, counselling, education, spiritual training, or even just as a place to work quietly for a few hours!

History Of Tudor House
Now an attractive building with a combination of many architectural styles, this is familiar to many people in Stafford as a collection of shop premises restored in the 1980s. What may be less well-known is that it actually has a history dating back to the 16th century. Although there are no written records on it before 1690, at that time it was recorded that a large timber-framed house on the site was owned by either a William Barker or his son of the same name. The former was a leading townsman who had moved into the town after the English Civil War. He was a successful business man, having premises on the east side of the Market Square, trading in cloth. However, his fortunes declined and he resigned as an alderman ‘due to the decay of my estate and my confinement in prison so that I am unable to attend council meetings’. Later his fortunes were restored, as when he died in 1705 he was described as a gentleman.
The house on Eastgate Street was let as a private house, and divided into two dwellings (nos 8 & 9) in the early 1700s. Since then these buildings have had a variety of uses, mostly as business premises. For example, number 9 was used by a thread-maker, Thomas Clarke, in the 1790s (his son, Edward, has a room named after him) and a leather merchant (John Plant) in the 1830s, and as an office for The Imperial Typewriter Company in the early 1920s.
In 1810 the premises were taken by James Nixon, and a hat maker, who subsequently let some of the upstairs rooms as gentlemen’s apartments with stables. In those days, there were many more public houses in Eastgate Street and the rest of the town generally than there are today, and one can imagine that maybe these gentlemen sometimes came back to their rooms having had a few drinks too many!
The alterations were done in 1984, converting the existing building and passageway into a Colonnade of small shops; and then no. 9 became a newsagents till 2002. This building has also housed a knitting company, a dance studio, Stafford Labour Club, a casting agency and an employment agency, amongst other businesses.

Suppliers
Personal contact details of manufacturers of craft items for sale or return. Information on sales and return items (items sold and amount of cash owed and paid to supplier).
Telephone numbers are kept on the work mobile phone, which has password protection. The Centre Manager has sole access. The phone is fully insured by the supplier (O2).
Digital information is stored on a laptop computer kept on the work premises. Eportfolio information is also further protected by security measures in place on the examining body’s dedicated website (VTCT). This consists of further passwords, known only to the assessors. These are:
Maggie Jennings (Assessor and Centre Manager)
Suzie Howe (Internal Verifier)
Sian Fletcher (External Verifier)
The majority of information is kept in electronic format which makes it easy to amend. Written information is regularly checked for accuracy (see below) by the DPO and amended as necessary.
Some information is kept on Dropbox, which is password protected, when it is necessary for the information to be accessible from other devices (for example, if the laptop has a fault). All other devices used are password protected, for example the workplace mobile phone and tablet.
The laptop is accessed via a password known only to the proprietor (Maggie Jennings) who is also the Data Protection Officer.
Work premises are fully insured, and protected by means of an alarm system, which is regularly checked by the supplier (Stafford Alarms).
Information held in the form of written documentation is held in a locked cabinet. This information includes data consent forms, consent for treatments (including contact details), client treatment plans, contact details and records of sales for suppliers of goods held for sale or return, invoices and contact details relating to wholesalers, and archived work diaries. The key is held by the Data Protection Officer.
All personal data is given by staff, clients, suppliers (of sale or return items) or students, as appropriate. Consent for the use of personal data is obtained prior to or at the point of its collection.
Client phone numbers are obtained when an appointment is booked. If the appointment is made by phone verbal consent is obtained for the centre to keep the client’s phone number for appointment reminders. This is then confirmed by signature on the appointment date.
The lawful basis for the collection of data from members of staff is in order to comply with the law, for example for the purpose of tax calculations.
The lawful basis for the collection of contact details from members of staff is consent, included as an item for signature in their written contract.
The lawful basis for the collection and use of data from clients (except for treatment records – see below), customers, suppliers and students is that of clear consent. This consent is documented by the use of appropriate forms, held securely by Hart.
The lawful basis for the collection of data concerning the treatments given to clients is statutory obligation. Insurance cover is provided by FHT via Hiscox, and they require that descriptive records should be kept for all treatments provided, and these records should be maintained for at least 10 years. (FHT, 2017)
All consent forms give the information that signatories have the right to access, delete or alter personal information I hold at any time, and the right to complain to ICO if they feel there is a problem with the way I am handling their data. It is also explained that the Hart Privacy policy is available to view at any time, for example a written copy is kept for that purpose on shop premises. These forms also contain information on the deletion procedure (see below).
The information given is only shared with people other than the Data Protection Officer in the case of a clear legal obligation to do so, to protect the staff member’s, client’s or student’s vital interest, or with the clear consent of the person whose information is being shared. For example, medical information about a client may be given to a health professional if the client is unconscious and has been admitted to hospital for medical treatment. Signatories are informed of this on the consent form.
Existing documentation processes are in line with FHT and VTCT guidelines, however consent forms have now been revised and updated in accordance with the new legislation (GDPR 2018). All personal information held has also been checked to ensure that it is in compliance with stated guidelines and legislation. A formal Personal Data Breach Response Plan has now been put in place (see below).
An annual Information Audit is conducted by the DPO to ensure that the information held is accurate, specific to stated requirements and has been held for the appropriate times (see below).

How long we keep it: Footage is automatically overwritten on a rolling basis and is retained for a standard period of 31 days. We may retain specific footage for longer if it is required as evidence for an active investigation, insurance claim, or legal proceeding
Deletion of Personal Data
Definition
‘The DPO does not define ‘delete’ or ‘deletion’ – but a plain English interpretation implies ‘destruction’’. (ICO, 2018)
The ICO state that deletion takes place when information has been put ‘beyond use’ (op. cit.) i.e. if written documentation has been securely shredded, and electronic data is no longer accessible to the Data Controller or other authorized persons. The latter will be placed in an electronic wastebasket, emptied at least once daily. In this way, the data will no longer be accessible except by using specialist technical assistance.
Once the current laptop computer, work mobile phone and tablet are no longer required by Hart, the the data will be overwritten by secure deletion software, then the device will be sent to a specialist for physical destruction.
All personal data consent forms clearly state that the data, once deleted, is made inaccessible to authorized persons (i.e. put ‘beyond use’). It is clearly stated that the only circumstances in which an attempt will be made to recover the deleted data will be where there is a legal obligation to do so, to protect vital interests, or with the express consent of the individual concerned.
Personal Data Breach Response Plan
1. Definition
‘A personal data breach can be broadly defined as a security incident that has affected the confidentiality, integrity or availability of personal data. In short, there will be a personal data breach whenever any personal data is lost, destroyed, corrupted or disclosed if someone accesses the data or passes it on without proper authorization, or if the data is made unavailable, for example, when it has been encrypted by ransomware, or accidentally lost or destroyed.’ (ICO, 2018)
2. Personal Data Breach Policy
Written documentation is kept securely on work premises. If it is lost, damaged, destroyed by fire, damaged or stolen, either accidentally or through criminal activity, then the Hart Personal Data Breach Procedure is followed (see below).
For personal information stored electronically, staff are required to use encryption at all times and alert the DPO if any unusual activity is detected on the computer. For example, unfamiliar pop-ups, data suddenly becoming inaccessible or the mouse pointer moving around on its own may all be signs of malware or a computer virus, and may indicate that the computer is being hacked. Evidence of this will trigger the Hart Personal Data Breach Procedure.
Staff are instructed to never disclose any personal information relating to clients, customers, students or other members of staff to a third party or an unauthorized person. Evidence of having done so will result in disciplinary procedures, and the Hart Personal Data Breach Procedure will be followed. This procedure will also be triggered by any evidence that an unauthorized person has independently accessed or passed on personal data held by Hart, or evidence that electronically held personal data has been accidentally lost or destroyed, for example through the loss of electronic devices taken off work premises.
Hart Personal Data Breach Procedure
1. Complete a Personal Data Breach Report (see template). This will contain a description of the nature of the breach, the categories and numbers of people involved and personal data records, the name and contact details of the Hart DPO, the cause of the breach (human error/systemic issue) and likely consequences, also steps taken to minimize the breach’s effects.
2. Determine whether there is a likelihood of a risk to people’s rights and freedoms. If so, notify ICO within 72 hours and send them a copy of the Personal Data Breach Report. The ICO require all the information outlined above. If this is not immediately possible, then an explanation must be given to ICO of the reasons for the delay and a likely date given for when the information will become available.
3. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to people’s rights and freedoms, then it will become necessary to inform the individuals concerned directly and without undue delay. The DPO will need to assess the level of risk on a case by case basis.
This is discussed by ICO as follows:
‘In assessing risk to rights and freedoms, it’s important to focus on the potential negative consequences for individuals. Recital 85 of the GDPR explains that:
“A personal data breach may, if not addressed in an appropriate and timely manner, result in physical, material or non-material damage to natural persons such as loss of control over their personal data or limitation of their rights, discrimination, identity theft or fraud, financial loss, unauthorised reversal of pseudonymisation, damage to reputation, loss of confidentiality of personal data protected by professional secrecy or any other significant economic or social disadvantage to the natural person concerned.”
This means that a breach can have a range of adverse effects on individuals, which include emotional distress, and physical and material damage’
One of the main reasons that the individuals concerned need information on the breach is to help them take steps to protect themselves from its effects. The individuals affected must be given the name and contact details of the DPO, the likely consequences of the breach and the measures taken to minimize the breach’s effects.
4. All records of breaches will be kept secure, either in a locked cabinet (for written records) or password protected (where the records are in electronic format).
