The sharing of class lists with our School Aged Immunisation teams continues to be an issue in some schools. DfE has updated its data protection in schools guidance to make clear that schools will need to provide parent and carer contact details to SAI teams (Data protection in schools - Sharing personal data - Guidance - GOV.UK). This guidance was updated following the issues raised around inconsistencies across schools in terms of how GDPR guidance is interpreted.

Could you also share this with you educational colleagues and as always, we appreciate your support in assisting our SAI teams in delivering immunisations across schools.
