The hypothetical student has apparently provided a CV which states he
was working and has provided evidence that he was claiming JSA for the
same period of time, so we are hypothetically in possession of
documentation suggesting a false claim may have been made.
We don't want to breach any duties we may have towards the hypothetical
student in terms of his personal data, but the member of staff concerned
also doesn't want to get into trouble if she turns a blind eye to the
information.

May one ask in this hypothetical situation in what form this information
might present itself?
What is meant by "receive"?

Subject: [data-protection] Duty to disclose?
Hi All
I am hoping someone will be able to confirm an appropriate course of
action for me. A colleague has asked me a hypothetical question, and
I'm not 100% confident about the answer.
Basically, the question is that if we, as a college, receive information
which suggests a potential student may have been falsely claiming JSA
whilst working, do we have a duty to disclose this information to the
relevant authorities or do we have a duty of confidentiality to the
potential student?
Any assistance would be gratefully received.
Thanks
