2. What information do I collect?

Depending on the service, I may collect children's names, dates of birth and contact details; parent and carer details; referral and background information; relevant medical, developmental, educational and SEND information; assessment information, session notes and progress records; communications with families, schools and other professionals; Rebound Therapy attendance and progress information; and relevant photographs. Some of this is special category personal data relating to health.

3. Why do I use personal information?

I use information to respond to enquiries and referrals, assess needs, plan and provide therapeutic support, maintain clinical records, monitor progress, prepare reports, communicate with families and relevant professionals, meet safeguarding and professional responsibilities, and administer my practice.

4. Lawful basis

I process personal information in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. For information necessary to provide agreed therapeutic services, my intended Article 6 basis is performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)), where applicable. For health and therapy information, the relevant condition I intend to rely on is health or social care (Article 9(2)(h)), subject to meeting the applicable legal requirements and safeguards. Other lawful bases may apply to particular activities, including safeguarding, legal obligations and necessary information-sharing.

5. How information is stored

Children's clinical records and therapy notes are maintained using Fortuna, the PTUK clinical system, and a password-protected computer database. Rebound Therapy information, including attendance, session notes, progress information and relevant photographs, may be recorded using Earwig. Reports prepared using Earwig information are saved separately in a private folder on my password-protected device. I take appropriate steps to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

6. Confidentiality and sharing information

With appropriate parental permission and, where suitable, the child's understanding and involvement, I may share relevant information with schools and other professionals involved in supporting the child. This may include information about the child's needs, therapeutic support and progress.

Information may also be shared with a school's Designated Safeguarding Lead, Local Authority Children's Social Care or other appropriate safeguarding agencies if a concern arises. Where sharing is necessary and lawful to protect a child, information may be shared without parental consent. Wherever appropriate and safe, parents or carers will be informed. Only relevant and necessary information will be disclosed.

7. Photographs

Photographs may be taken during Rebound Therapy where appropriate for therapeutic recording and progress monitoring. Photographs will not be used on this website, social media or promotional materials without separate, specific permission. Promotional permission is optional and does not affect access to therapy. Video recordings are not taken or stored through Earwig.

8. How long information is kept

Children's clinical records: In accordance with the PTUK Retention of Records Schedule, children's clinical records are retained until the child's 26th birthday. Before destruction, relevant complaints, litigation or other matters are considered, and records are securely disposed of when the applicable retention period expires.

Professional registration records: PTUK membership and registration information is retained in accordance with PTUK's own privacy and retention arrangements.

Earwig: Rebound Therapy information is held within Earwig in accordance with the provider's terms and data-retention arrangements. Access may be affected if my individual subscription ends or changes. Relevant reports may be saved separately in my secure records.

Other paperwork: Other records are retained in accordance with applicable professional, legal and data protection responsibilities.

9. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to request access to personal information, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, request erasure or restriction where the law allows, object to certain processing, and raise a concern about how information is handled. Requests concerning children's information are considered in light of the child's rights, age, understanding and best interests, parental responsibility and applicable law. Some records may need to be retained to meet professional or legal obligations.
