Cookies and privacy

What we store on your device

Most visitors have nothing stored at all. The only things this website ever stores are:

What	Why	How long
Animation setting scukMotion (browser storage)	Only saved if you press “Pause animations” or “Play animations”, so the site remembers your choice.	Until you clear your browser data
Staff page password wp-postpass	Only set when a member of staff enters a password for a staff page, so they don’t have to type it again.	10 days
Website login wordpress_logged_in, wordpress_sec, wordpress_test_cookie, wp-settings	Only set for the people who log in to manage this website.	Login: until they log out, or up to 14 days with “Remember me”. Editor settings (wp-settings): up to 1 year

These are either essential for the website to work or set only when you ask for them, so we don’t need to ask for your consent and you won’t see a cookie banner.

Content from other websites

Our Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating is shown using the CQC’s own rating widget, which loads from cqc.org.uk. To show it, your browser connects to the CQC’s website, which can see your IP address. Read the CQC privacy statement.

Our videos, fonts and images are all hosted on our own website. Links to other websites, such as our job application form, take you to services with their own privacy and cookie policies.

Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies and stored data in your browser settings at any time. The public website will still work normally.

If we ever add analytics or anything else that stores information on your device, we will update this page first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
