progress;
· the provision of welfare, pastoral care and health services;
· the giving of support and guidance to children and young
people, their parents and legal guardians;

Research is carried out in a way that ensures individual children and young people cannot be identified.

personal details such as name, address, date of birth, child/young person identifiers and contact details for parents and guardians;
information on any special educational needs;

Children and young people have certain rights under the Data Protection Act and General Data Protection Regulation, including a general right to be given access to personal data held about them by any “data controller.”
The law allows that, by the age of 13, children and young people have sufficient maturity to understand their rights and to make an individual right request themselves if they wish.

the right to ask for and receive copies of the personal information held on yourself, although some information can sometimes be legitimately withheld;
the right, in some circumstances, to prevent the processing of personal information if doing so will cause damage or distress;
the right to ask for incorrect information to be put right;
