Young Cooks Club
Data Protection Policy
At Young Cooks Club we respect the privacy of the children
attending the Club and the privacy of their parents or carers, as well as the
privacy of our staff. Our aim is to ensure that all those using and working at Young Cooks Club can do so with
confidence that their personal data is being kept secure.
We ensure that the Club meets the
requirements of the GDPR, liaises with statutory bodies when necessary, and
responds to any subject access requests.
Confidentiality
Within the Club we respect
confidentiality in the following ways:
Information that we keep
Children and parents: We hold only the information necessary
to provide a childcare service for each child. This includes child registration
information, medical information, parent contact information, attendance
records, incident and accident records and so forth. Our lawful basis for
processing this data is fulfilment of our contract with the child�s parents.
Our legal condition for processing any health-related information about a
child, is so that we can provide appropriate care to the child. Once a child
leaves our care we retain only the data required by statutory legislation and
industry best practice, and for the prescribed periods of time. Electronic data
that is no longer required is
deleted
Sharing information with third parties
We will only share child information with
outside agencies on a need-to-know basis and with consent from parents, except
in cases relating to safeguarding children, criminal activity, or if required
by legally authorised bodies (e.g. Police, HMRC, etc).
If we decide to share information without parental consent, we will record this
in the child�s file, clearly stating our reasons.
We will only share relevant
information that is accurate and up to date. Our primary commitment is to the
safety and well-being of the children in our care.
Subject access requests
GDPR
We comply with the requirements of the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), regarding obtaining, storing and
using personal data.
