Generally, we will collect personal information from you directly. This may be by email, phone call, or face to face meetings. Sometimes we may collect information about you from a third party (e.g. from a report provided by a medical professional or from a referee) and we may collect information indirectly (e.g. from a business card, or through our website or social media channels).
