I don't see why a child, once they come of age, can't overturn any
permissions previously given. The parallel is simply an adult changing
their mind and rescinding consent (either for themself or on behalf of
the child). The fact that the original consent was given on behalf of
the child rather than by the child themself is irrelevant.
Can't help with the research issues, I'm afraid....

Subject: [data-protection] Parental permission
Hi,
This might be a simplistic question (and might have been raised before),
but can a child, once they have come of age, overturn any permission
previously provided by a parent? This particular context relates to
recordings of conversations between children, and with adults, primarily
for educational and linguistic research and study purposes (but I'm not
sure of the extent to which this was made clear to the parents at the
time or whether any clear limitations were placed on usage). Could one
of the children (now in adulthood) request that their personal details
(including voice recordings) be deleted? Or does the fact that they
constitute 'research material' negate any such request? The material is
of significant ongoing research value and there is no definitive cut-off
date for any associated project etc.
Any comments gratefully received.
Jon
