EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations prescribe the persons and the categories of persons to whom a person in Wales may provide student information. The Regulations also prescribe the type of student information that may be shared and the circumstances in which that information may be shared.
Regulations 3 to 7 prescribe the circumstances in which student information may be shared.
Regulation 5 provides that the Welsh Ministers or an information collator may provide student information to the other, to a prescribed person or to a prescribed category of person if that information relates to a person who is or was enrolled or registered with a learning provider for the purpose of obtaining a specified qualification.
Regulation 6 provides that student information may be provided by a person to the Welsh Ministers or an information collator if that information relates to a person who is or was enrolled or registered with a learning provider for the purpose of obtaining a specified qualification and the Welsh Ministers or an information collator has requested that information.
Regulation 7 provides that student information may be provided by a person (other than the Welsh Ministers or an information collator) to a prescribed person or a prescribed category of person if two circumstances are met. The information must relate to a person who is or was enrolled or registered with a learning provider for the purpose of obtaining a specified qualification. In addition the person to whom the information relates is or was enrolled or registered with the person providing the information; or is or has undertaken education or training with the person providing the information.
A specified qualification is a relevant qualification that is eligible to receive funding from the Welsh Ministers by virtue of the Learning and Skills Act 2000 or the Qualifications Wales Act 2015.
Regulation 8 and Schedule 1 prescribe the student information that may be provided.
Regulation 9 and Schedule 2 prescribe the persons and the categories of persons to whom information may be provided.
The Welsh Ministers Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
