Dear All
Last week I posted the message outlined below. I have received several
replies which we've found very useful. I have passed them onto our DPA
officer who accessed several suggested sources. In the end the decision
was to disclose the information ( we've also found out that it was in
the interest of our student in order to save him money).
Thank you very much for your advice.
Barbara
