JCQ exam regulations - sharing family info

[Bigbird7]

Does anyone have any thoughts on the JCQ general regs 2018-19, page 11 5.3 d) and the sharing of data to exam boards for family members of staff sitting exams, even if it’s not at your centre.

Whilst sharing of information with the exam boards will be covered in our privacy notices, this won't be extended to family members. As it’s extended to other centres we won’t even currently hold the information.

That's weird. So, we should tell JCQ when staff members' children are in Year 11 at another school?

 

By the way, I think 5.3 is saying we need to tell JCQ about any child at our school who is taught by a parent, but the bit about other centres only applies to exams staff. That would be strange if it were the case, but that's how I read the text...

I read it as any close family member who is being tutored by a member of staff or any family of exams staff, so we will need to survey our staff to get the information and pass it on to the awarding bodies. The exam regs are a legal requirement so that’s our legal basis. Edited January 21, 2019 by Bigbird7
