It seems to me that it depends entirely on the purpose for the processing of the data that was notified to the data subject at the time the data was collected. You may not pass this data to any party unless that processing mechanism was made clear at time and point of data collection. The national or local nature of the ISA project is interesting but immaterial. The point at issue (unless other legislation which takes precedence over the DPA 1998 contradicts this) is that the processing would be unfair. It is also possible that it might be considered to be passing data to a third party as well as unfair processing.

We have a central pupil database within the Learning & Children's Services Directorate which contains data on school pupils e.g. name address date of birth etc.. As part of the ISA strategy we are looking to provide extracts of this data to our colleagues in Community Services, but we are unsure how this covered under the Data Protection Act. The ISA project is a national one and so will affect all local authorities.
