Children

Where we get your personal data from

We obtain your data from you or your previous medical records. If you are under 13 then your parent or carer has to give it to us on your behalf. If you are being treated by us then we might also take information from, for example, your GP or others involved in your care. This helps us to give you the best treatment. It is really important to know that we are really careful with this information.

When you are being treated by us we will sometimes ask you for personal information. Personal information means things like your name, your age, where you live and how we can contact you.

But that’s only if you are over 13. The first thing we would want to know, and check, is how old you are.

Are you Under 13?

If you are under 13 then we have to ask a parent or carer, or another adult who looks after you to give us that information for you. We tell them how we keep that information safe in our other ‘Privacy Notice’ – it is a bit longer than this one! They can ask to see any of that information, any time. You can also have a look at this if you want more information.

Are you over 13?

If you are over 13 and getting treatment from us then your Consultant or Doctor will sit down with you and explain all of this and check that you understand what we do with your personal information – it is yours after all and that you know what your rights are. 

Everyone here is trained in safeguarding which means that we know how to keep you safe and that includes how we keep your information safe. We don’t share it unless you tell us we can (unless we are really worried about you), and we store it safely.

We will process your data to make sure you get the best possible care but also to make sure we can protect it from anyone who shouldn’t see it and to make sure we are following all the laws and regulations.           

YOUR RIGHTS

You have all the same ‘rights’ with regard to your personal information as adults do. The main ones are that you can get a copy of all the data we hold about you; you can get any incorrect information put right; and you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).  They will check that we have complied with the data protection laws and will take action if we haven’t.  Contact the ICO on www.ico.org.uk
