Sharing School Health data

Please read these letters (one for Primary schools (PDF, 71.2 KB) and one for Secondary schools (PDF, 51.2 KB)) from the Director of Public Health England which provide advice on the lawful basis under the GDPR for children’s personal information to be used for height and weight measurements; dental surveys, vaccinations; and vision and hearing screening in Primary schools.

The key message is that no change is needed to the current ways in which children’s personal information is used and shared for the school health data collections to be lawful under the GDPR.
