How do I get my club onto the database?

- Appropriate entries are published on the Family Information Service part of the Bedford Borough Council website.

What happens if I have some details I do not want to be made public?
If you have certain contact details you do not want to be made public then we can keep them confidential. However, we do require a full postal address so that we can write to you to check details every year.
How do you keep up-to-date?
It is important to us that the information we hold about you and your organisation is accurate and up-to-date. Each year we will send you the details we currently hold for you to check, amend and sign.
If we do not receive a reply from you after two months, we will send you a reminder. If we do not receive a reply from you after a further two months, we will remove your personal details to an archive file. This archive file is saved for one year and then your personal information will be deleted.
If your organisation has a website we will continue to list the organisation without your personal details and we will link directly to your website.
I would like to make some changes to the information on the Local Information Database. What should I do?
You can make any changes at any time, just contact us.
The club contact has changed. What should I do?
