I would probably go down the
coonsent route but there again, the address details you have for the former
student are probably out of date. You c ould probably say that you were unable
to obtain consent and therefore cannot release the information.

Subject: Staff rights v Student rights
Several years ago a PhD student made an informal complaint
against a member of staff, in writing, about the quality of that staff
member’s supervision. The student’s supervisory arrangements were changed,
without any admission of liability, and all was settled.
The staff member concerned has now requested sight of all of
the documentation emanating from this informal complaint. My view is that we
shouldn’t give it to him, as it all references the student, or is written by
the student, and he can obviously identify her throughout. However, clearly he
also has dp rights. If he were to put in a data protection subject access
request should we withhold anything within which he might be able to identify
this (or any other) student?
Thanks in advance!
