I would be grateful for advice as soon as possible please regarding whether a University should, if asked by anybody, be prepared to confirm whether an alleged former student has a particular qualification. If somebody has published information on their website claiming that they have a particular qualification from an institution does that make a difference?
The background briefly is that we have been approached by an individual claiming to be a freelance journalist asking us to confirm whether or not an alleged former student has a qualification from the University. At present I do not feel we can disclose the information.
Many thanks for any advice you can give.
