Parent & guardian guide
For parents and caregivers of athletes
about 3 min to read
If your child's club uses IDPlans, you may be asked to give consent for them to take part, and you can be given access to the reports their coaches publish. This explains both.
1.The consent request
For younger athletes, clubs ask a parent to consent before any data is recorded. You'll get an email with a link.
- 1
Read what's collected
The consent page lists exactly what the club records: training attendance, how your child feels day to day, physical test results, and coach feedback.
- 2
Give or decline consent
Declining is a valid answer. Your child can still train — the club simply won't record their development data in IDPlans.
- 3
Changing your mind
You can withdraw consent later by contacting the club. They can delete your child's data permanently.
2.Your access

- 2
What you can see
Reports the coach has chosen to publish. That's the considered summary of your child's development, not raw day-to-day data.
- 3
What you can't see
Daily check-ins, wellness answers and coaching notes are not shown to parents. Those are working notes between athlete and coach.
3.Making sense of a report
- 1
Start at the top
The first thing on any report is the few key focus areas — the handful of things the coach wants worked on. Everything else is supporting detail.
- 2
Scores in context
Test results are shown against the squad or age group where the club has enough data, so a number means something.
- 3
Ask the coach
The report is a conversation starter, not a school grade. Coaches expect questions.
4.Your rights
- 1
A copy of the data
You can request everything held about your child; the club can export it for you.
- 2
Deletion
You can ask for your child's record to be permanently erased.
- 3
The detail
The club's privacy statement sets out how long data is kept and who can see it.
