 Once you are aged 13 or over, we are required by law to pass on certain information to providers of youth support services in your area.

However, if you are over 16, you (or your parent(s)) can ask that no information beyond names, addresses and your date of birth be passed to the support service. This right transfers to you on your 16th birthday. Please tell Mrs Brooker  (School Administrator) if you wish to opt out of this arrangement.
