How do the permissions that I give now relate to my parents’ permissions given in the past?

Your parents’ permission to add information from your education records (up to age 16) will remain valid in all countries, and your own permissions now will enable us to add information from your education and training records after age 16.

In England, the permissions that you give at age 17, for adding health records, will override those that your parents may have given when you were 7. In other words, your permissions now will be used to add information from your health records from birth onwards. In Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, your parents’ permission to add information from your health records up to age 14 will remain valid regardless of any permissions given now.
