Regulation 3 Parental involvement

A Primary Care Trust which is conducting a weighing and measuring exercise for the purposes of the National Child Measurement Programme under arrangements made under paragraph 7A(1) or (2) of Schedule 1 to the Act must take steps to give each parent of a relevant child to whom such exercise relates a reasonable opportunity to withdraw their child from participation in the exercise.

When conducting such a weighing and measuring exercise, a Primary Care Trust must take steps not to record or otherwise process any information in relation to a relevant child where it is aware that a parent has withdrawn that child from participation in the exercise.
