Privacy Policy

TYA have taken measures to ensure we are compliant with the new GDPR legislation and this page sets out the three key elements of GDPR and how that relates to TYA

1 Data we hold:

Information we hold is as follows:

  • Youth Club members

  • Contact information, including address, e-mail address (where relevant) and telephone number

  • Medical conditions, allergies and other information that parents feel is relevant and useful for us to know for safeguarding

  • Parents and emergency contacts

  • Contact information as above for young people.

  • Staff and volunteers (including Trustees)

  • Contact information as above

  • Bank account information and National Insurance number (paid staff only)

  • Disclosure information through P.V.G (Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme)

  • Supervision and disciplinary records

We do not ask for, hold or share any information relating to a young person’s sexual identity, ethnicity or religious or political beliefs.

2 Why we hold this information (lawful basis for processing)

Youth Club members, parents and emergency contacts: we have a legitimate interest in safeguarding young people (medical information) and need parental contact information to inform them of any changes to provision.

Staff, Volunteers and Trustees

Legal obligation through P.V.G. act

Legal obligation through HMRC (paid employees)

Legitimate interest in being able to contact staff and volunteers to discuss youth club related activity and business.


3 How we keep this information safe

We don’t pass on or sell information we hold to third parties but it’s important to note that we do work in collaboration with organisations such as schools. GIRFEC (Getting It Right For Every Child) encourages appropriate sharing of relevant information and, while we never give out contact information, it is appropriate to acknowledge inputs we deliver to identified young people at the High School. Appropriately sharing information allows us to take a person centred approach which is fundamental to youth work. 

Paper copies of contracts, bank details and PVG information are all kept in a locked filing cabinet in our Peebles Youth Club. Only the TYA Manager has the key to this.

Membership forms and permission slips are kept in locked filing cabinets in our Peebles and Innerleithen Youth Club offices.

Digital information is stored securely on our encrypted, online database. To ensure GDPR compliance we have consulted with our database creator, Chris Hurst and can confirm that the database is secure.

Further digital information is securely stored on the TYA Manager’s password protected computer in the Peebles office. Passwords are in line with our password and data protection policy.
