Your personal data and privacy are important to us
Independent external consultants, Crowe, have been appointed to deliver this survey and will be in contact with everyone on the full Roll of Solicitors who has ever practised in Ireland. The Law School will signpost trainees to the survey.
We take our responsibilities under applicable data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation and implementing legislation such as the Data Protection Act 2018, very seriously. For this reason, a privacy statement is in place for all the different groups that Crowe will be in contact with, and a data sharing agreement is in place between Crowe and the Law Society to ensure that Crowe comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Laws.
Please note that the Dignity Matters survey is entirely voluntary, and each survey response will be treated in total confidence. Crowe will review all survey responses and will present aggregated findings to the Law Society of Ireland only. Your individual survey responses will not be shared.
