Data protection and confidentiality authorisation
The University’s Student Support Services’ Confidentiality Policy usually requires the
student’s permission to share sensitive and confidential information with colleagues, unless
a student is considered to be at risk of harming him or herself, or others.
The Confidentiality Policy is set within the context of the Data Protection Act 1998, the
University’s principles of confidentiality relating to students, and the relevant professional
codes of conduct.
Any data or records held in the Student Accommodation Office are confidential, secure and
accessed only by the Student Accommodation Team.
Data may be used for statistical reasons, but these reports do not identify or disclose
information that will identify an individual.
We need your permission to store both this data and these records, and to disclose them to
others.
We may recommend disclosure of relevant information to the appropriate personnel in order
to ensure your support across the University.

sounding, at any time of day or night. I therefore do not require a personal emergency

an alarm sounding at any time of day or night so I would like to discuss this further.
