How and why does CEDR collect Personal Information?
CEDR collects personal information about you before and during the course of a student’s enrolment. This may be in writing, through technology systems or in the course of conversations. The types of personal information CEDR collects includes sensitive information, which includes health information. The primary purpose of collecting personal information is to enable CEDR to provide schooling and learning opportunities to students enrolled at CEDR facilities, exercise its duty of care, and perform necessary associated administrative activities, which will enable students to take part in all the activities of the School, College or Kindergarten.
CEDR has legal obligations which require certain information to be collected and disclosed. These include relevant Education Acts, and Public Health and Child Protection laws, as well as our duty of care to students. A student’s enrolment may be delayed or prevented if CEDR cannot collect certain personal information. This is particularly so where the information is relevant to the health and safety of the student, other students and/or staff. If you provide CEDR with the personal information of others, such as doctors or emergency contacts, we encourage you to inform them that you are disclosing that information to CEDR and why.
To whom does CEDR disclose information?
CEDR may disclose your personal and sensitive information for educational, care and administrative purposes, and to seek support and advice. This may include to:
other Schools and teachers at those Schools, including a new School to which a student transfers to facilitate the transfer of the student;
