This will tell you what you need to do, and who to contact.</p> <h2>Can schools give my exam results to the media for publication?</h2> <p>Publishing examination results is a common and accepted practice. Many students enjoy seeing their name in print, particularly in the local press and the UK GDPR does not stop this happening. However, under the UK GDPR schools have to act fairly when publishing results, and where people have complaints about their or their child’s information being published, schools must take those complaints seriously.</p> <p>Schools should make sure that all pupils and their parents or guardians are aware as early as possible whether examinations results will be made public and how this will be done. Schools should also explain how the information will be published. For example, if results will be listed alphabetically, or in grade order.</p> <p>In general, because a school has a legitimate reason for publishing examination results, pupils or their parents or guardians do not need to give their consent to publication. However, if you have a specific complaint about publication of your results, you have the right to object. Schools should consider objections from pupils and parents before making a decision to publish. A school would need to have a good reason to reject someone’s objection to publication of their exam results.</p> <h2>Can a child make a request for their information?</h2> <p>The UK GDPR does not specify an age when a child can request their exam results or request that they aren’t published. When a child makes a request, those responsible for responding should take into account whether:</p> <ul> <li>the child wants their parent (or someone with parental responsibility for them) to be involved; and</li> <li>the child properly understands what is involved.</li> </ul> <p>The ability of young people to understand and exercise their rights is likely to develop or become more sophisticated as they get older. As a general guide, a child of 12 or older is expected to be mature enough to understand the request they are making. A child may, of course, be mature enough at an earlier age or may lack sufficient maturity until a later age, and so requests should be considered on a case by case basis.</p> </div> </div> </div>
