Colleagues,
Just to let you know that the following letter has been sent to Data
Protection Officers at all HE Institutions.
Anne Deverell
Data Protection Manager
Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA)
-----
Reissue of HESA Collection Notices
You will be aware that HESA produces collection notices that describe what
happens to the personal data submitted to HESA as part of the HESA records.
The three collection notices (student, staff and destinations) have been
reviewed by HESA and its statutory customers in light of some recent
developments. These new notices are enclosed within this letter and can also
be found on the HESA website at
http://www.hesa.ac.uk/dataprot/collnotices.htm which includes the Welsh
translations.
The notices now include mention of the National Student Survey and
Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education follow-up survey. HESA has
also taken into account comments received from the Plain English Campaign.
We realise that the release of the new student notice will come too late to
be included in this years' student enrolment procedure at a substantial
proportion of institutions, but you should bring it into use as soon as is
practicable. Each institution has a duty to make information available to
students and staff about uses of their data, and these notices will update
the data subjects about how their data is used by central organisations. As
hitherto, you should supplement each notice appropriately to cover your own
use of the data.
HESA also produces the document 'Data Protection Guidance for the HESA
Records' which gives supporting information to institutions. This document
has been reissued, and is enclosed. It can also be found on the HESA website
at http://www.hesa.ac.uk/dataprot/HEI_DPguidance.htm
If you have any questions about either document, please contact Anne
Deverell, Data Protection Manager.
