PROVIDING OF INFORMATION TO PROVIDERS OF YOUTH SUPPORT SERVICES AND THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT

 

Once your child is aged 13 or over, we are required by law to pass on certain information to providers of youth support services in your area. This is the local authority support service for young people aged 13 to 19 in England and enables them to provide youth support services and careers advisers. We must provide both the child’s and parent’s name(s) and address, and any further information relevant to the support services’ role. A parent or guardian can object to any information in addition to their child’s name, address and date of birth being passed to their local authority or provider of youth support services by informing us. This right is transferred to the child once they reach the age 16. Data is securely transferred to the youth support service via a secure file transferring system and is stored within local authority software. For more information about services for young people, please visit the local authority website.

The school will not give information about you to anyone outside of the school without your consent unless the law and rules allow us to. To Opt Out If you wish to opt-out of this arrangement, please email [email protected].
