Can I just say in defence of Coventry University that it has never been
our intention to only have a 'blanket' consent. We have carried out an
audit of use of personal data throughout the University, and arising out
of that we are introducing 'local' very specific consent procedures for
areas processing sensitive personal data, such as the Counselling
Service, the Disabilities Office and the Mental Health Co-ordinator, and
for areas which carry out some form of processing or make some type of
disclosure which would not be obvious to data subjects. One example of
the latter is the fact that our Sporting Promotion Officer is planning
to start a Web page advertising the achievements of our sports
scholarship students. We have a specific consent clause for this,
explaining to the students the implications of their data being
available worldwide.
