Relation to child/young person
The following Data Protection statement is the most current and needs to be replicated in the forms you use:
In accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 we must inform you that by signing this form you are giving your consent to
process the information we collect from you whilst we have involvement with you and your family, for the purposes of providing
support. This information may be shared, but only where appropriate, with other relevant professionals and organisations, such
as the NHS, Leeds City Council, and Families First programme. Sharing with the Families First programme may allow us to
access additional family support and/or funding for you
Each agency is duty bound to follow data protection and child protection policies and guidelines and will ensure the safe transfer
and storage of any information they record. I agree that information about my family may be shared, and sought from other
relevant agencies to help ensure that my child/ren and family receives the support we need.
If there are changes in family circumstances or our family no longer want support from any of the services involved or offered it is
understood by everyone that it is the responsibility of the parent/carer to inform the requesting agency or worker.
The Council may have to give some of the information we collect from you to relevant government departments, such as the DfE
or the DCLG, for research purposes and with the aim of making the services of Leeds City Council better. Any sharing will be
done only where it is necessary or where we are legally obliged to do so and is strictly in accordance with the Data Protection
Act. Your information may be collated or monitored, where possible in an anonymized format, to ensure you receive the correct
support and services. Should you choose not to consent to sign this form then please note we may still be required under law to
process and share the information in this form without your agreement, for example when we believe a child is at significant risk
of harm.
