GDPR - specific protections for children

I am in independent assessor for dyslexia. I would like some advice on the wording of a consent form which I would ask parents to sign. This would give their consent for gathering personal details, information from other professionals, assessing their child and storing the information for six years following their 18th birthday.

Answer:

The EU GDPR contains specific protections for children. You can only get consent from a child in relation to online services if it is authorized by a parent. A child is someone below the age of 16, though Member States can reduce this age to 13.

The EU GDPR does not apply this restriction when obtaining consent from a child offline, but given the tight controls on consent, you may still wish to obtain parental authorization.

You can find draft parental consent form in our EU GDPR Documentation Toolkit here : https://advisera.com/eugdpracademy/eu-gdpr-documentation-toolkit/
