If you do provide us with this information, we only use these details to assist us with the day-to-day running of the daytime activity camp (for example, if your child’s religion means that he or she has particular dietary requirements then we will of course be much better informed if we have this information to cater to your child’s requirements) and for equal opportunities monitoring purposes.
