Privacy & Cookies

Privacy policy

Merseyside Youth Association currently operates 3 websites: Merseyside Youth Association,   Youth Connect 5, and Liverpool CAMHS. Merseyside Youth Association is committed to safeguarding your privacy online, and to letting you know how we use any personal information that you provide to us.

The YC5 programme relies on explicit consent. Individuals choose to attend the training and so provide their personal information to support safe access to the course. Should individuals object to their information being processed or wish for it to be erased this would impact MYA’s safeguarding and funding requirements and so would mean individuals are unable to attend the course.
