I would be interested to know if there is an example of another scenario where one is entitled to information, but there is something like a mandatory information session one can do in advance or if this is an outlier. I would be interested to know if that is a common practice. Head 2 of the Bill has a list of excluded information, including care provided by a parent, guardian or an adoptive parent of a child. The only information permitted regarding relatives is whether one has a relative, the relative's gender and whether that relative is younger or older. What are Mr. Sunderland's views on that from a GDPR perspective?
