I am still 'holding the fort' on DP and have a subject access issue to
deal with.
The Act refers to 'a request in writing' and my understanding has been
that the DP Act or the expression 'subject access' do not necessarily
have to be mentioned if a request is clear enough (e.g in the case of
someone querying their exam marks who wants a breakdown of them).
Do you agree that even if current practice is not to routinely provide a
breakdown of exam marks, that if an individual asks for them, we should
advise that they have the right to them under the DP Act (& of course
provide them on receiving the fee and being satisfied as to identity),
even if they don't mention the DP Act or 'subject access'?
