Children’s information (under 18’s)
A Picture of Health Ltd does not usually require information about people under the age of 18. However, there might be occasions where a research study does include children and young people.
A Picture of Health Ltd will get consent from a parent or guardian before collecting information about children under the age of 13 years. However, in cases where we become aware that someone we are engaging with is under 13, only after we have already collected their data, we will ask for the consent of a parent or guardian to continue communicating. If we are unable to get this, we will stop all contact with the child concerned and make a note on their record.
If you are under 18, you should ask the permission of a parent or guardian before sending personal or sensitive information to anyone online. You must let us know your age when you make contact with us, if you are under 18.
We will obtain parental or guardian written consent for anyone taking part in research who is under the age of 18 years. Consent will be obtained ahead of the research session.
