What we do with information we hold about your child
Directorate of Children and Family Services – Privacy
policy
The council keeps information on children in the area, such as
their contact details, national curriculum assessments, attendance,
characteristics such as ethnic group and any special educational
needs.
These details are shared within the council to help improve
services but are not passed onto any outside agencies unless the
law and our rules permit it.
Information is also held about our school workforce so we can
evaluate what we do and develop our education policy and
strategies
NHS Knowsley also uses information about pupils for research and
to monitor how effective local health services are and to develop
them. The statistics are used in such a way that individual
pupils cannot be identified.
All personal information is held in the most secure manner
possible to stop any unauthorised access.
The council only holds information as long as it is needed and
then disposes of it securely.
You have a right to access the information that the Directorate
holds about your child and you can also contact us to ask for any
inaccurate information to be changed.
For more information about the council’s Data Protection
Policies or if you have a complaint with regard to your
information, please contact us.
