The other exception is medical information which we will ask for before the course, which we will retain for 3 years to meet our insurance obligations, That information will be kept in secure files.

When you are asked for medical information, we will also ask you for permissions for ‘photos and video-filming. You will be told how we will keep it and given the opportunity to refuse ‘photos and videos or specify their use.

Types of personal data we process

We process personal data about prospective, current and past students and their parents, as provided to us. We also process information about our conductors, tutors and helpers, including volunteers; staff and workers from St Catherine’s school who are present on the school site during the EYSM course; and EYSM suppliers and contractors.  We also process information supplied to us by donors, friends and supporters; and from other individuals connected to, or visiting, EYSM.

The personal data we process takes different forms – it may be factual information, expressions of opinion, images or other recorded information which identifies or relates to a living individual. Examples include:

  • names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and other contact details;
  • family details;
  • information about special requirements, in health or training;
  • images, audio and video recordings;
  • financial information (eg, for bursary assessment or for fund-raising)

Collecting, Handling and Sharing personal data

  • We collect most of the personal data we process directly from the parents/guardians of students under 18 years or directly from students 18 years and over.
  • The rights under Data Protection legislation belong to the individual to whom the data relates. In all processing we will work within the laws which provide for the rights of both the student and the parent. These are most particularly relevant to EYSM in terms of health and welfare matters.
  • In general, we will assume that students’ consent is not required for ordinary disclosure of their personal data to their parents, eg, for the purposes of keeping parents informed about the student’s activities, progress and behaviour, and in the interests of the student’s welfare, unless, in EYSM’s opinion, there is a good reason to do otherwise.
  • We will ask parents or students, as appropriate, for medical information and for permissions in regard to photographs/videos/other records of the events in which they are engaged during the EYSM week.
  • In the course of EYSM business, we may share personal data (including special category personal data where appropriate) with relevant authorities. Some of our systems are provided by third parties, eg hosted databases, website, calendar, email and cloud storage providers. This is always subject to contractual assurances that personal data will be kept securely and only in accordance with our specific directions.

Purposes for which we process personal data

We process personal data to support the operation of EYSM, in particular for;

  • The selection and admission of students;
  • The provision of musical education to students; administration of ensembles and orchestras; provision of the EYSM’s IT and communications systems (and monitoring the same);
  • The safeguarding of pupils’ welfare and provision of pastoral care, welfare, health care services by house staff in boarding houses;
  • Operational management including the compilation of student records; the administration of invoices, fees and accounts; the management of EYSM property; the management of security and safety arrangements; the administration and implementation of the EYSM’s rules and policies for pupils and staff; the maintenance of historic archives and other operational purposes;
  • The promotion of EYSM through its own websites and other publications and communications (including through our social media channels)

The processing set out above is carried out to fulfil our legal obligations. We also expect these purposes to form our legitimate interests.

All EYSM personnel

All EYSM personnel, including volunteers, on site during EYSM and those off-site in charge of data throughout the year have enhanced disclosures through the DBS Updating Service, which means that their status is continually monitored and can be checked at any time. The information to ensure this service is provided by all involved.
