No! Don't do it!! I would suggest that in the first instance that you
say only that plagiarism is suspected. People know if they are guilty
or not. If they are genuinely innocent, and they actively seek further
information, then you can think about the circumstances, ie. possibly
consult with the "plagiaries" or refer to other existing appeals
processes etc., before you take it any further.

Subject: [data-protection] Disclosure of data in disciplinary cases
It has been practice in disciplinary cases involving plagiarism to give
to the individual being investigated the name (only) of the student
whose work appears to be very similar or the same as theirs. It is
thought that this gives them the fairest way of explaining the alleged
collusion.
Do others think that this is a legitmate disclosure?
