What If I am unable to use the NHS App?

If students, staff and visitors are unable to use the NHS App, for example if a mobile phone with the App is unavailable, details can be recorded from a computer or by staff in these areas on the Canterbury Christ Church University manual check-in form below:

Manual Check-in Form

NHS Covid-19 App

• The app is developed with your privacy and security in mind.
• Data is held on your own device
• The app does not have access to your phone contacts or any other personal Information held on your phone. Your privacy and identity are totally secure.
• Venue check-in data is held on your phone, including; time, date and venue.
• The app automatically deletes your list of check-ins every 21 days.
• If other people were at the same venue at the same time as you who later test positive you may receive an alert to let you know.

Manual Check-in Form – data storage

Any data the university collects for students, staff or visitors who are unable to use the NHS App via our manual form will be used solely for the purpose of supporting the NHS Test & Trace Service. With consent, we will pass on your details to the NHS if requested. Data is held for 21 days only.

Why do we need this manual check-in data?

By maintaining records of staff, students and visitors who are unable to use the NHS Covid-19 App and sharing these with NHS Test and Trace where requested, we can help identify people who may have been exposed to the virus. Containing outbreaks early is crucial to reduce the spread of Covid-19, protect the NHS and social care sector, and save lives. This will help to avoid the reintroduction of lockdown measures and support the country to return to, and maintain, a more normal way of life.

If you would like to opt-out of having any of your manually collected check-in data shared with the NHS, please either make it clear you do not wish for your manual data entry to be shared or complete the CCCU Contact Tracing Opt Out Form.
