Hi again

These documents might be useful. btw: The Nuffield Council on Bioethics stuff is out-of-date.

Human Genetics Commission. A common framework of principles for direct-to-consumer genetic testing services (July 2010)
[Available from many sources on line, but note that the HGC doesn’t exist any more. Many of the principles in this document would apply to testing in a school context, even though the report was not written with this in mind.]

[Available from http://www.bsgm.org.uk/media/678746/consent_and_confidentiality_2011.pdf Excellent and very interesting report, with a useful summary of the legal situation.]
