We treat next of kin/emergency contact data as a separate data subject.
there is an archive discussion on the web site about this.
We expect a signature on the form from the emergency contact to signify
acceptance that their data record is on file.
Some might argue that this is over cautious. But then I tend to prefer not
opening my organisation up to the potential for "silly" prosecutions.

Subject: Next of kin details
For those colleagues particularly working in Higher Education is it
normal practice to ask students at registration for next of kin
details and if so, what statement is given about how and when the
information may be used?
Thanks
