Hi there,
I'd like to repost this -
The question is effectively up to what age does a parent have access to
the educational record without the students consent?
An additional question... how about the students school - if it is a
school sending their student (usually 14+) to the College to study can
we just give the school access to the educational record we maintain?
Do we need the consent of the student?
Best wishes,
Jon

Subject: [data-protection] Parental access to student records
Hi everyone,
I have a query on parental access to student academic records.
We are a general FE College with students from 14 to 90+ years of age
and both state and privately funded.
The Education (pupil information) (England) Regulations seem to give the
parent a right of access to a childs educational record. It 'appears'
to consider this as a person of 'compulsory school age' which I think is
still to age 16 at the moment.
My take on this is that we could provide parents access to their childs
record up to the age of 17 when it then becomes a matter for DPA and a
student to agree that access.
Am I correct in this?
Can anyone point me to some specific policy web links?
Thank you,
Jon
