Research or Consultation by Other Organisations
From time to time the Council receives requests for the contact details of midwives from organisations wishing to carry out legitimate research or consultation projects on midwifery or maternity matters. Council policy is to not agree to these requests. In rare circumstance relating to the nature of the research it is possible that the Council may agree to a mail-out on behalf of the requesting organisation. Any such mail-out will be carried out by the Council without releasing personal details to the requesting organisation. However it does not view this as one of its functions and would not expect this to occur often.
From time to time the Council will provide data to the government or other organisations concerning midwifery workforce issues. No personally identifying information is provided in these situations.
