Disclosure of Personal Data Relating to Students

This guidance provides clarification as to when a student's personal data can or cannot be disclosed; what should be considered in relation to disclosure; and information about when to refer the request to another colleague or team.

As part of our day to day role, many of us handle the personal data of students. At times, sharing this data will be required and this guidance should assist you in understanding when sharing is appropriate and what to do if you have any concerns. The guidance also gives an overview of consent, which will sometimes be needed to share a student’s personal data.

If you have any queries about the guidance or requests to disclose personal data, please contact the University’s Data Protection Officer.
