Children taking part in fundraising

We may process data about children under the age of 16, usually where such data is given to us by parents or guardians in the course of participating in fundraising events.  For example, occasionally our sponsorship forms or our online participant forms may request the name of a child involved in raising money.  Where a child’s name is disclosed to us we use the information only for the purpose of thanking them with consent of their parent or guardian.

However, if we believe a supporter or donor may be under the age of 16 we take all reasonable care to establish whether their contact with us is made under the supervision of a teacher, parent or guardian.  Younger children only participate in our events and fundraising activities in the presence of, or under the guidance of, a parent or guardian.
