Request to Access a Child's Record

Thank you for your interest in MyChart BWC, an easy-to-use internet tool that provides you quick and secure online access to some of your child's health information. To sign up for access to your child's MyChart BWC record, please complete and submit the following form for approval. Once your request has been approved, we will email your activation code within 7 working days. We will contact you if we have any questions regarding your information. Please note that access to a child’s record through MyChart BWC can only be granted to a Parent or Legal Guardian.

Please note the limitations below for MyChart BWC based on your child's age:

A patient's parent or guardian with parental responsibility has sole access to their child's information through MyChart BWC as a proxy up until the child is 12 years old;

A patient aged 12-16 years is entitled to access information from MyChart BWC if they request this and are deemed to have capacity by their clinician. At the same time the parent or guardian with parental responsibility continues to have proxy access to the patient’s MyChart BWC information by default. If the patient aged 12-16 years wishes to remove a proxy from the MyChart BWC, the clinician may agree to that request in their absolute discretion;

From 16 years of age, the patient will have direct access to their MyChart BWC; Proxy access can be provided with patient consent.

Proxy access will be permitted without patient consent where the patient is aged 16-18 years and has reduced capacity as determined by the clinician. This continues for as long as the young person is a patient at BWC or turns 18 years of age (whichever occurs first).

From 18 years of age, proxy access for a patient without full capacity can only be provided with a Court Order. Information can be found here: www.gov.uk/become-deputy/apply-deputy
