The Education and Skills Act 2008 gives C&K Careers Ltd explicit consent (i.e. we do not need to ask your permission) to process personal data and information related to young people. Specifically this information consists of names, addresses, dates of birth of pupils (Year 8 and above) and other data required to help identify those at risk of becoming not in education, employment or training (NEET) post 16, post 16 plans of young people and offers they receive along with current circumstances and activities.

You will need to sign our consent form before the photo shoot. C&K Careers Ltd will only name a young person where they have given consent. If you are aged 13 or under we need consent from your parent or carer.
We produce a range of published materials and online information. From time to time we take photographic images (moving and still) of people (data subjects) and use case studies that may include these images and personal information (such as full name) to enhance and illustrate our media applications and make them motivational and inspiring to our audiences. From time to time we might issue a press release photograph featuring the young person.
We may pass on your personal information to third parties that we work with, such as schools, colleges, universities, local authorities and other public service providers so that, in their role of providing a public service, they can secure appropriate products and services for you.
