How can you
just take the word of the student that this person poses a threat to him/her ? I
would have thought that there should be some instruction from the police
following an upheld complaint by the student.

Subject: [data-protection] Use of
photos
I have a scenario at our
college:
A student is concerned a member of public may harm them
and may come on site. They have given a member of staff a photo of this person
who is not a student at the college. That member of staff would like to record
this photo against the student’s electronic record so relevant staff, such as
facilities staff, can identify this person if they were to come on
site.
I’m concerned about recording this photo on our systems
as we have not asked permission to do so, but I do want to ensure the relevant
staff have the knowledge they need. I’m favouring just keeping the photo with
that member of staff and recording a summary on the student’s electronic record
with a reference to the staff member for further
details.
I’m interested in your thoughts on
this.
Thanks,
Phil Shambrook
