I need advice on what to tell our Registrar's Department to include in the contracts with the host institution. Most of the data rgarding the students will be supplied by them but we will be adding data and then sending it back. I've looked at the DPC advice on Transfer of Data and am more confused than when I started! Would it be 'adequate' to require the host institution *to keep the information secure *to inform us and the student to whom they disclose our information and to inform both the student and us if they need to amend this list * to inform us and the student about their retention policy and their disposal policy * to provide the student with a copy of the informaton we supply if requested by a student? Monitoring will be part of the annual visit to these institutions to check on the running of these courses. I realise that we will also have to inform the student about our DP policy and their rights and tell them what we hold in the UK etc. That can be done in the same way that we inform our own students. Any advice greatfully received.
