When scheduling events for children, it's important to be mindful of the data you collect. Children's information is specially protected under GDPR.

If parents/guardians are accompanying children at the event but not taking up spaces at your event, this would still be a child-only event. Alternatively, you can remove the attendee email requirement entirely.
