Privacy Policy
💬 Introduction
At Rebel Training, we’re committed to keeping your personal information safe. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information about young people, parents/carers, and professionals we work with. We follow UK data protection laws, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
📌 What Information Do We Collect?
We only collect information we need to support you safely and effectively. This may include:
-
Your name and contact details (phone number, email, address)
-
Emergency contacts
-
Health or medical needs (e.g. allergies, mental health, access needs)
-
Notes from support sessions
-
Safeguarding records (when needed to protect safety)
-
Photos or videos (only with consent)
-
Feedback or evaluation forms
We may also collect information that is more sensitive, such as your ethnicity, religion, or anything you’ve chosen to tell us to help support your needs.
⚖️ Why Do We Collect Your Data?
We only collect and use your information when we have a good reason, such as:
-
To register you for sessions or programmes
-
To keep you safe and meet safeguarding duties
-
To make sure our sessions meet your needs
-
To keep in touch with you about changes or opportunities
-
To report anonymised outcomes to funders or partners
-
Because it’s required by law or part of our public duty
We will not use your data for marketing unless you’ve clearly said yes.
🔐 Keeping Your Information Safe
We store your data securely – whether on paper or online – and only people who need to see it can access it. We don’t sell or trade your data. We also never keep it for longer than we need to.
How long do we keep data?
-
For support work or interventions: we keep your data for up to 2 years after the programme ends, unless a longer time is required for safeguarding.
-
Then, we delete or destroy it safely.
🧩 Multi-Agency Working & Safeguarding
We take confidentiality seriously, but sometimes we must share information if it’s needed to:
-
Keep someone safe
-
Meet legal or safeguarding responsibilities
-
Work with emergency services
-
Work with professionals like social workers, schools, or GPs
-
Report to funders (anonymised wherever possible)
We always follow legal requirements and strict confidentiality rules when sharing sensitive information.

-
Record the incident securely
-
Share this with relevant team members to plan support
-
In serious cases, share with parents/carers or professionals for safeguarding
