Sorry if this has been addressed previously - We have been asked to provide the Local Authority with details of our students in University accommodation. I dont not believe that we should provide this information , as far as I can see we are not obliged to do so and it is the individuals obligation to ensure that they are registered, not the University's. There appears to be a conflict of opinions and I would obliged to have any clarificaiton that anyone could provide. Is there any legislation that allows local government to collect this date from us? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at : - www.jiscmail.ac.uk/user-manual/summary-user-commands.htm (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
