Who we share your information with
Depending on the age of your child we may share information where necessary with Scottish Government and our partner agencies such as NHS, Highlife Highland, Skills Development Scotland, SQA and other bodies responsible for administering services to children and young people. This is to support statistical reporting, medical and immunisation provision, health and wellbeing, careers and examination presentations.
Data is processed on behalf of the Council by IT systems providers and research consultants (for statistical analysis).
Highland Council may check the details provided for enrolment against records held by the Council for the purposes of administering Council Tax and Housing Benefit. This is to ensure that the pupil named on the enrolment form is allocated a place at a school in accordance with the catchment area as determined by The Highland Council. This check will also be used to validate the information held for the purposes of administering Council Tax, Housing Benefit and other entitlements.
Basic information, such as Highland Council provided Google email addresses, may be shared with educational software/App providers to enable accounts to be created for pupils as part of the Council’s use of educational software to enhance learning and teaching.
