(a) no time limits apply so a "reasonable time" is allowed. In the case of inaccurate information, speed is recommended!
(b) Schools - yes. Education Records Regulations. It's 15 school days by the way.

Subject: [data-protection] SAR and compliance calendar days
Can anyone advise please?
When a SAR is completed and sent to the data subject they can reply that
they perhaps feel some data is missing, some data is wrong etc. How many
days do we have to put things right? I recently had a SAR and the
person wrote to say some data was missing and gave full details etc. so
no problem about locating it; but I was told that this had to be
completed within 14 days. Where did he get this from as I can't find
this rule in the Act?
thanks
Sally Justice
p.s. also it seems that Schools have to respond within 15 days according
to discussions on the recent FOI list. Is this correct?
