Healthy Early Years London and Healthy Schools London privacy policy

The GLA – also known as City Hall – is London’s regional government and the home of the Mayor of London, the London Assembly and the staff who support them. Find out what we do and who we work with.

The GLA is committed to protecting your privacy and personal data when you contact us or use our services.

This page outlines our obligations and your rights under the data protection legislation, which regulates the use of personal information by all private and public-sector organisations.

Healthy Early Years London (HEYL) and Healthy Schools London (HSL) are awards schemes that support and recognise achievements in child health, wellbeing and development in early years settings and schools. The programmes aim to reduce health inequalities by supporting a healthy start to life across themes that include healthy eating, oral health, physical health, early cognitive development and mental health. The GLA needs you to provide certain personal information about yourself in order for you to register with the HEYL and HSL programmes.

Please take the time to review this statement carefully as it sets out how your personal data will be processed when you register with HEYL and HSL.


Read more about Your Privacy Rights under the current data protection legislation or contact our Data Protection Officer if you have any questions about this privacy statement.

HEYL and HSL members are required to provide their name and contact details, and to set a unique password for their account. This is so we can create and administer your account. The following information about your setting will be published on the HEYL website:

  • your setting or school name;
  • the London Borough in which your setting or school is based; and
  • the City and postcode of where the setting or school is located.

Please note that if you use your own name as the setting or school name, this will mean that your name will also be published. The setting or school name provided will also appear on your awarded certificates.

You will be able to log-in and amend your details at any time. If you no longer wish to appear on the website and want your details to be removed and deleted, please contact the HEYL or HSL teams.

Under the GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, the GLA is only allowed to use personal information if we have a proper reason or 'legal basis' to do so. In the case of HEYL, your personal data is processed because it is a public task carried out in the public interest.

The Mayor has a statutory duty, through his Health Inequalities Strategy, to promote improvements in the health and wellbeing of Londoners and to work towards a reduction in health inequalities in London. The Greater London Authority Act provides a legal basis for HEYL and it is necessary for us to process certain personal data to perform this public interest task. HEYL collects this personal data in order to help, support and promote achievements in child health amongst those working with young people.
