Hi, you need to ask your seting or your work placement for the policies and procedures that cover data protection, information handling & sharing. It might have one specific policy that states information such as children's personal files, enrolement forms, contact details are kept securely in a locked filing cabinet.
How information is handled will be different in each setting, you'll need to find out what information stays on the premises, leaves the premises and what permissions are in place for that to happen eg. where information is shared by being emailed or is held digitally on portable units eg. memory sticks or printed out as hardcopies.
For information sharing, see who has access to it and why eg. named individuals have access to files to update them, show parents, work with other appropriate & agreed professionals.
The Data Protection act can be read on
gov.uk and details what needs to be complied with.
If you're in england the
EYFS 2012 also has information to support what your setting's policy will contain.

The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) gives parents and carers the right to access information about their child that a provider holds. However, the DPA also sets out specific exemptions under which certain personal information may, under specific circumstances, be withheld from release. For example, a relevant professional will need to give careful consideration as to whether the disclosure of certain information about a child could cause harm either to the child or any other individual. It is therefore essential that all providers/staff in early years settings have an understanding of how data protection laws operate. Further guidance can be found on the website of the Information Commissioner’s Office at: http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisati...rotection.aspx .
