We are apparently required by law to report details of accidents to students
at residential school (to a body whose name I can't remember!). The
information will inevitably include sensitive (health) data but whilst the
reports do not necessarily have to contain personal data, we wish to retain
the personalised record in case of civil claims. Other HEIs must have the
same issue in respect of students on site. Do you obtain explicit consent
and if so how? I'm assuming 'vital interest' doesn't arise. What about the
position where consent is sought and refused (likely if the accident arises
from some embarrassing incident!)?
