When this all comes out in the wash - which it will - your friend would
be as well to protect their own career rather than assist in subsidising
someone elses.
Speaking selfishly there's no reason to compromise your own position to
help someone else out. Nothing is confidential if there's a good reason
for it not to be, and this should be made clear to students.

Subject: [data-protection] Duty to disclose?
Hi All
I am hoping someone will be able to confirm an appropriate course of
action for me. A colleague has asked me a hypothetical question, and
I'm not 100% confident about the answer.
Basically, the question is that if we, as a college, receive information
which suggests a potential student may have been falsely claiming JSA
whilst working, do we have a duty to disclose this information to the
relevant authorities or do we have a duty of confidentiality to the
potential student?
Any assistance would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Jenny Sparling
