The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) provide guidelines stating that it is good practice to ‘retain records for children and young people: up until their 25th birthday, or, until their 26th birthday if 17 at conclusion of their treatment’.
The RCSLT also advise that records are disposed of according to legal requirements and local policy as appropriate.
Recent law: General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) 2018 states that ‘personal data should not be kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects (child and parent) for longer than is necessary’. The GDPR also states that the data subject (child/parent) has the right to request erasure of personal data/information concerning him. Love to Communicate must comply with this request if the data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected if there are no overriding legitimate grounds for storing the data/information.
