Your data: Employability and Skills Audit 2025 (20-67 years)

Aberdeen City Council will collect this data to inform improvements and actions which relate to supporting you as an individual and more generally where a lack of specific type(s) of employability support in the City have been identified. Ultimately we wish to support more people towards their employability, education or training goals.

Your responses will be used to report on this consultation. Individuals will not be identified in the report.

Who we share information with

The data will be analysed by Aberdeen City Council with statistical data reported to the UK Government. Statistical data gathered will also be used to report to Council committees and to the Local Employability Partnership as well as Scottish Government. 

How long we keep your information for

Aberdeen City Council will keep this information for a maximum of seven years from the date it was initially collected. It will be automatically deleted from our secure servers at this point.

Your rights

You have rights in relation to your data, including the right to ask for a copy of it. See more information about all the rights you have and how they work in practice, as well as contact details for the Council’s Data Protection Officer. You also have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office. They are the body responsible for making sure organisations like the Council handle your data properly.  

Our legal basis

Aberdeen City Council is the Data Controller for this data. Wherever we process personal data we must have a legal basis in data protection law and tell you what it is. The Council understands our legal basis to be our public task as it is our job to analyse and report on the activity status (education, employment and training) of City residents, to ask what people think about employability services in Aberdeen and make plans to improve our services across the City.

In carrying out this function, the Council is also likely to process special categories of personal data. The Council understands our legal basis as being that this is necessary for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes.
