Hi All
A pupil has left school - ASBO unit want to raise an ASBO in Sheriff
Court due to him having parties. ASBO Unit have rang his ex-school
requesting copies of his education records which includes reasons why he
was excluded at one point in time. ASBO unit are citing parts of the
ASBO legislation that a public authority has to comply with that piece
of legislation and that ASBO legislation came in after DPA 98 and is
basically saying it supercedes DPA. I am of the firm belief that they
have no entitlement to that information under DPA as it would breach
several of the DP principles. Education collected information for
education purposes and not for assisting with an ASBO (fishing
expedition comes to mind). Apart from anything the boy is now 16/17 and
has left school so consent would be needed and I doubt if he would.
Any views would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Doreen
