  • we plan to offer work experience or internship to a young person

However we keep some basic information on file so we can contact the young person (or their agent or responsible adult) about relevant opportunities in the future.

An adult who has parental responsibility for a person aged under 18 (that might be their parents, but it could also be another adult who looks after them, who we call the responsible adult) can ask about how Agit8 Studios use that young person’s information.
