Guidance on the use of biometric systems in schools
Guidance on how the Data Protection Act 1998 applies to the use of biometric data in schools is now available.
It advises schools to fully involve parents in any decision to introduce biometrics or fingerprint technology to run cashless lunch queues, school libraries and attendance systems.
The guidance also underlines that headteachers and governing bodies should be clear and open with all parents and pupils about this and all aspects of their education.
