In these cases, it will be necessary for us to take details from a third party e.g. the parent of a child, translator, friend or relative. We will always ask the person providing the Personal Information whether the injured party has consented to the processing of their information. Information relating to the third party and the injured party will be collected by us in accordance with this policy.
