We may collect limited personal data from children and young people under the age of 18, but only with the consent of a parent or guardian, or as permitted by law.

We maintain a strict safeguarding policy to ensure that any data concerning children and young people is handled confidentially and responsibly. We follow recognised best practices in child protection and take immediate action if any concerns arise regarding a child’s wellbeing or safety.
