What will happen with the information I provide about my child?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 allow us to hold information about children and families as part of our duty to support families.

However, the law says we must:

• only hold information that we need for the delivery of the programme
• only use the information for that reason
• make sure the information we hold is accurate
• keep the information only for as long as it is needed
• make sure we only use the data lawfully and do not breach your rights as the owner of this information
• keep the data secure at all times.
