A Complete Waste of Space

The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 has legislated that schools and colleges
must notify each parent of a pupil under the age of 18 if they wish to take
and subsequently use the child’s biometric data as part of an automated
biometric recognition system. As long as the child or a parent does not
object, one parent must provide written consent for a school or college to
process the child’s biometric information. A child does not have to object in
writing but a parent’s objection must be written.
Under the Act, there will never be any circumstances in which a school or
college can lawfully process a child’s biometric information (for the purposes of using an automated biometric recognition system) without one of the persons above having given written consent.
Notification sent to parents should include information about the processing
of their child’s biometric information that is sufficient to ensure that parents
are fully informed about what is being proposed. This should include: details
about the type of biometric information to be taken; how it will be used; the
parents’ and the pupil’s right to refuse or withdraw their consent; and the
school’s duty to provide reasonable alternative arrangements for those pupils
whose information cannot be processed.
Under the Act, parents and pupils can withdraw their consent at a later date,
even if they have initially agreed to the information being captured.
The pupil’s right to refuse.
The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 has legislated that if a pupil under 18
objects or refuses to participate (or to continue to participate) in activities
that involve the processing of their biometric data, the school or college must
ensure that the pupil’s biometric data are not taken/used as part of a
biometric recognition system. A pupil’s objection or refusal overrides any
parental consent to the processing. Also note:
Schools and colleges must take steps to ensure that pupils understand that
they can object or refuse to allow their biometric data to be taken/used and
that, if they do this, the school or college will have to provide them with an
alternative method of accessing relevant services. The steps taken by schools
and colleges to inform pupils should take account of their age and level of
understanding. Parents should also be told of their child’s right to object or
refuse and be encouraged to discuss this with their child.
