Who we are

Headline Consulting is the advisory practice founded by Sir Michael Wilshaw, providing mentoring and support to school leaders. This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through this website.

Information we collect

We only collect the information you choose to give us, such as your name, email address, organisation and the content of any message you send through our contact or enquiry forms.

We may also collect limited, non-identifying technical information such as browser type and pages visited, to help us understand how the site is used and to keep it secure.

How we use your information

We use your information to respond to enquiries, arrange mentoring conversations, send briefings you have asked to receive, and improve the website. We do not sell your personal information or share it with third parties for marketing.

Legal basis for processing

We process personal information where you have given consent, where it is necessary to respond to your request or provide a service, or where we have a legitimate interest in running and improving our practice, in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Sharing and storage

Your information is only shared with trusted service providers who help us operate the website and email communications, and who are required to protect it. We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, and then delete it securely.

Cookies

This website uses only essential cookies and basic analytics needed for it to function and to understand overall usage. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict its use, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
