The following information will now be included with consent forms for excursions:
The information you provide on this form will be used by North Lanarkshire Council’s Education & Families to assist with ensuring that due care and attention is given to any medical, dietary or additional support required by the person for whom consent is given and for no other purpose. The purpose and legal basis for processing this information is to provide education services as part of our duties as local government in Scotland. As some of the information processed may be special category data the processing is necessary for health or social care purposes.
The information may be released to local medical staff in the case of emergencies without prior consent. The information will not be shared with any other council departments or external organisation (unless we are required to share this information by law or in the case of a medical emergency). We will only keep until the child has returned from the excursion and will securely destroy it once we no longer need it.
You should be aware that you have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about the person for whom consent is given, require us to correct any errors in this information and ask us to delete what personal information we hold about the person for whom consent is given.
