We collect the following personal data about your child in order for us to administer The Scholars Programme. We will hold it on our internal systems, use it to liaise with your child’s teacher and Scholars Programme tutor, and use it to create and manage their account on the VLE (Virtual Learning Environment). This data is collected on the legal basis of legitimate interests.

We gather these details so that we can keep you up to date with The Scholars Programme while your child is taking part. We do this based on your express consent. We will not retain this information beyond the end of your child's participation in The Scholars Programme unless you have subscribed to our newsletter below.

The following question asks about parental levels of education from the point of view of the child who will be participating in The Scholars Programme. (This includes natural parents, adoptive parents, stepparents or guardians who have brought up the child).

The questions below relate to consent for processing and sharing your child’s ethnicity data, which is a special category of data. Consenting to The Brilliant Club processing this data means we will request your child’s ethnicity data from their school and hold it on our internal systems. It will enable us to evaluate whether our programme has the same impact on pupils of different ethnicities, and to make changes where this is not the case. Consenting to The Brilliant Club sharing the data will mean we may share it with the partner organisations listed below for evaluation purposes. You can revoke the consent you give us below at any time by emailing data@thebrilliantclub.org

The partner organisations we may share pupil ethnicity data with are: university partners, charities and research grant funding bodies that support The Brilliant Club, Higher Education Funding Councils, UniConnect Partners, Department for Education (DfE), Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), University and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), Office for Students, the National Data Service (SFA), and the Higher Education Access Tracker (HEAT). You can find out more about how HEAT will use your child’s data here.

The questions below relate to consent for holding and using images or sound recordings of your child. The Brilliant Club likes to celebrate the achievements of pupils and we ask for permission for ourselves, as well as our university partners and funders, to use images and sound recordings of pupils for promotional materials. You can revoke the consent you give us below at any time by emailing data@thebrilliantclub.org
