 Once you are aged 13 or over, we are required by law to pass on certain information to providers of youth support services in your area who have responsibilities in relation to the education or training of 13-19 year olds.  We may also share certain personal data relating to children aged 16 and over with post-16 education and training providers in order to secure appropriate services for them.  However, a parent/guardian can request that only a child’s name, address and date of birth be passed to the support service. This right transfers to you on your 16th birthday.

The DfE may also share pupil level personal data that we supply to them, with third parties. This will only take place where legislation allows it to do so and it is in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

Decisions on whether DfE releases this personal data to third parties are subject to a robust approval process and are based on a detailed assessment of who is requesting the data, the purpose for which it is required, the level and sensitivity of data requested and the arrangements in place to store and handle the data. To be granted access to pupil level data, requestors must comply with strict terms and conditions covering the confidentiality and handling of data, security arrangements and retention and use of the data.
