Apologies for cross posting, but I have received a query, outlined
below, that I would appreciate any views on.
We have received a request from a former pupil (who left school some
50+ years ago) who is apparently looking to establish a reunion of old
classmates/teachers from his former (no longer extant) school in the
Leicester City Council area. He is basically seeking to clarify correct
names etc. of old associates.
I say "we" have received the request. The request was actually
received by the County Archives (administered by the County Council) who
advised the requester to contact us for "permission" to view the
records.
I am of the view that as we transferred these records to the Archives
in line with our Retention & Disposal policy after use had concluded, we
have thus disposed of them and they are now the property of a separate
data controller/public authority (i.e. the Archives). "Permission" is
not ours to give!
I would appreciate any views on this.
Thanks
Iain
