This is slightly off topic, but with DP implications
Background:
My wife is a teacher. A child in her last year's class has a mother who is
busy divorcing her father acrimoniously making difficult allegations against
him (sex drugs and rock and roll about covers it). The child is happy in
school, plays and learns well enough, and seems unworried by anything
Mother's solicitor, in a letter to the school, has claimed that my wife has
said that little Elvira "has benefited hugely from being away from her
natural father". This is a lie, but is likely to be used in sworn
statements in the divorce. My wife has always said that Elvira is happy as
Larry in school and has never had any issues at all.
Question:
Does my wife have right of access to and the right to correct this data, or
is it covered by some form of legal privilege?
A subsidiary question which is off topic, is what should she do in order to
protect her own reputation? She is quite rightly angry that her name is
being used in a lie.
