Some of our young people with severe physical and learning disabilities
are going to take part in an activity scheme at a local leisure centre.
The leisure centre requires details from the care plans of these
individuals so that their needs are best met and so that they know the
conditions of them should there be an emergency.
None of these young people have the ability to act for themselves and
all of the parents have this responsibility. Consent has been sought and
achieved from the parents. It has now come to light that this
information will not be kept at the leisure centre but at the home of
the member of staff, where he mainly works. We have policies for our own
members of staff who need to take work home (although we do try to
discourage this) but not for situations like this.
We are in the process of informing the parents of this, and making the
leisure centre aware of their responsibilities towards this information
before allowing this to continue. Should we be seeking a more formal
agreement, which would take into account the security of this data?.
We would not want to hinder these activities because they will be
important for the young peoples well being and progress. Advice would be
appreciated.
