About this page

This page has been written for 13-17 year olds. It's all about how Vision uses your personal information. We know there's a lot to read, but we want you to understand exactly what information we use, and what your rights are. Your parents or carers will need to read this page too.

 

Your profile

​Your profile is where we save your personal details. Your profile might include paper files (like registration cards and consent forms) as well as electronic files (on our computer system). You can ask us to update or delete your profile any time.

​

About Vision

Vision is a registered charity working with young people in Rossendale. Please see the 'Help' section at the end of the page for more details.

​

Basic details

To take part in regular Vision activities, you'll need to register some basic details. We just need your name, age, school/college, and an emergency contact number. To help us keep you safe, we'll also ask you to tell us about any medical conditions, allergies or additional needs.

 

Optional details

When you register, you can choose to give your mobile number and sign up for free event updates. You'll also be able to tell us whether you're happy for photos or video clips which show you taking part in our activities to be used by Vision (see 'Photos + Videos' section below).

​

Parental Consent Form

For some activities and trips, we'll need to check with a parent/carer that it's OK for you to take part. We'll use a Parental Consent Form to collect any extra safety information that we need for each activity. We'll also find out how your parent/carer would like to be contacted, and will make sure we have their consent for important things like transport and first aid. 

 

Surveys and Statistics

When working out statistics or taking surveys, we always remove personal information. This leaves us with general stats about large groups, for example: "this month, Vision has worked with 600 students aged 13-16".

​

Taking photos and videos

We often take photos and videos at Vision events. We use these to show people all the exciting things that Vision does. Sometimes we upload pictures or videos to our website or social media pages, or print pictures for newsletters.

​

For smaller events, like Connect, we know who everyone is. If you're on a photo or video that we want to share, we can check with you first. We may also ask a parent or carer if this is OK with them too.

​

For bigger events, there are so many people that it's hard to check with everyone. For these events, we put up notices so your parents or carers know how we will use photos and videos.

​

CCTV

Our youth centre, Woodlea Mission, has CCTV cameras inside and outside. This helps make our building safer for visitors and team members.

​

Whenever the building is open, our safety team are allowed to check the CCTV if needed, just to make sure everyone is OK. If an incident happens, recordings can be downloaded later and saved in case we need to investigate or pass evidence to the police. Recordings sometimes include audio as well as video.

​

We have a strict safeguarding rules so our team know who is allowed to view CCTV, and where videos can be saved. If you want to know more about this, please contact us. 

​

First Aid

We do everything we can to keep you safe when you're at Vision events. If you have an accident or feel ill, please tell our team. We'll write down what happened so we can talk to your parent or carer. These notes will be saved securely in case we need them at a later date.

​

Talking to us

You can talk to our team about anything! Sometimes, we need to write down the things you tell us, especially if someone is in danger. We'll tell you if this happens, and will keep all notes secure. The only people who will see the notes are adults who can help you.

​

1. We'll only ask for information that we really need.

​
