Wales Nation of Sanctuary Contact Centre:Ukraine

​​Cardiff Council will provide contact centre services on behalf of the Welsh Ministers in support of the Wales Nation of Sanctuary: Ukraine scheme. 

Cardiff Council will process personal data for the purposes of providing support and assistance to Ukrainian citizens fleeing the war in Ukraine who are arriving in Wales and need immediate assistance and onward travel to their sponsor’s location or a Welsh Government Welcome Centre. Cardiff Council may also process personal data from individuals and organisations that have questions about the Wales Nation of Sanctuary: Ukraine scheme.

What types of personal data do we process?

The types of personal data we process include, but are not limited to: 

  • Name 
  • Date of birth/Age 
  • Gender 
  • Contact information 
  • Details of anyone travelling with you 
  • Passport number
  • Visa application data











We may also process special categories of data including:

  • Safeguarding information


How do we obtain your personal data?

We obtain your personal data from sources including:

  • Welsh Government
  • Information provided by you to the contact centre.

How do we use your personal data?

Data will be collected and processed by the contact centre.  The contact centre will provide an inbound helpline and will collect personal data from applicants and sponsors. The contact centre will also contact applicants on the Welsh Government and individual sponsorship schemes to give them information about the various scheme processes.

Personal data will be processed by Cardiff Council for the purposes of providing support and assistance to Ukrainian citizens fleeing the war in Ukraine. Specifically, personal data will be processed in order to provide Ukrainian citizens arriving in the UK with information and guidance to travel to a destination in Wales, and to answer any questions they may have.

What is our lawful basis for processing your personal data? 

The lawful bases we rely on for processing your personal data are: 

  • Article 6 (1) (e) of UK GDPR – Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Controller. 
  • Part 2, Section 8 (d) of the Data Protection Act 2018 – processing that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of the controller’s official authority includes processing of personal data that is necessary for the exercise of a function of the Crown, a Minister of the Crown, or a government department. 
  • If the processing involves special categories of data, the lawful basis is Article 9(2)(g) of UK GDPR – processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest. The corresponding substantial public interest condition is Schedule 1, Part 2, Paragraph 18 of the Data Protection Act 2018 – processing is necessary for the purpose of safeguarding children and individuals at risk.  

How long will we retain your personal data?

Data will be retained whilst the Welsh Ministers consider that the provision of the Wales Nation of Sanctuary: Ukraine contact centre is necessary. Once it is determined that a contact centre is no longer required, the Welsh Ministers will issue instructions on what should be done with any data shared with or collected by Cardiff Council for this purpose.
