Data Sharing with a Virtual School

[garbage46]

Advice please: An out of area "Virtual School for Children Looked After" is asking us to share the GCSE results of a pupil. I have initially said no, because the results belong to the pupil so we need their consent etc.

The Virtual School is insisting they need the results for their records. They are a local council with @xxxx.gov.uk email address.

We anyone agreed that this personal data processing/sharing covered under "Public Interest" and/or "Vital Interests"?

Thanks

If the child is looked after and is supported by the Virtual School, then contact the Corporate Guardian to see what information has already been shared. Going via their social worker is usually the quickest route, but the Virtual school may very well need the results. Check with the social worker first.
