An interesting one has been raised by some advice a school has received.
So I've had a request from a student to block a parent from accessing their data.
having checked the students age and if the student understands the consequences of the request, I've had to abide by the students decision.
(also ran it though the council, who agreed).
Now I wait to see if any other students get the same idea.
(although in this case there was legitimate reason for the student)
**edit** only one parent, not both so CP is still covered
Without asking specifics, and working from the basis that https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/489901/Parental_Responsibility_Advice_for_School_January_2016.pdf gives advice around the definition of a parent and the associated responsibilities, what examples could justify a school opting to uphold the student's request to prevent access to data by the non-resident parent?
I have a number of safeguarding items in here, but can anyone think of other scenarios?
