Do judges see a dancer's height and weight?

This is an important question, and transparency matters.

YAGP should clearly identify:

what physical-development information is collected;

why it is collected;

who has access to it;

whether judges can see it;

whether it is ever used in judging;

how it is protected;

how long it is retained; and

what rights participants and parents have concerning their information.

Health-related information should only be accessible to people who genuinely need it for a defined purpose.

The IOC’s RED-S consensus specifically treats body-composition information as health data and emphasizes confidentiality, appropriate data protection and informed consent for body-composition assessments.
