To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Early Education on 30 May (HC50978) which stated that they were conducting a data protection impact assessment and further to remarks by Baroness Smith of Malvern on 22 May (HL Deb col 443) stating they were consulting the Information Commissioner’s Office in connection with the ‘child not in school’ registers, when they plan to publish that data protection impact assessment, and whether it will cover the use of consistent identifiers.
- Answer
-
The department intends to publish the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) for the Children Not in School (CNIS) registers prior to their implementation. We are continuing to engage with the Information Commissioner’s Office on the DPIA to ensure that all data protection risks have been identified and mitigated before any processing of data begins.
