I wrote to HEFCE and received the following response, it may be of
interest.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It is not envisaged that the Funding Council/HESA notice replace your
own.
Our letter, Circular 11/01, says that "Institutions should consider whether
the attached notices should be used in addition to or incorporated into
their own collection notices".
The notice itself is not at present mandatory. However, it is worded to
ensure that institutions submitting data to HESA and the Funding Councils
are able to comply with the law and that student and staff know that their
data is not just being collected for the institutions own use, and who and
where to go for more information.
I have also discussed your e-mail with Anne Deverell at HESA, who are
currently considering what further guidance might be given to Institutions.
We are hoping that this might be published in November."
