Supply Of Student Support Information To Governing Bodies (Wales) Regulations 2006 c.2828

Supply Of Student Support Information To Governing Bodies (Wales) Regulations 2006 No. 2828 (W. 250)

Summary:

Section 45 of the Higher Education Act 2004 gives the National Assembly for Wales the power to make regulations providing for a student support authority to supply student support information of a prescribed description to a prescribed person for a prescribed purpose.
For the purposes of these Regulations a "student support authority" means: the National Assembly for Wales, a local authority or governing body to whom student support functions have been transferred under section 23(1) of the Teaching and Higher Education Act 1998 and a person to whom student support functions have been delegated under section 23(4) of that Act.
These regulations enable a student support authority to supply information provided in connection with an application for student support either by the student concerned or his or her sponsors to governing bodies of institutions providing courses which are designated for the purposes of the student support scheme. The Regulations also enable student support authorities to supply to governing bodies information which is derived from the application, such as whether the student is eligible within the meaning of the student support scheme or the amount of student support payable to the student under that scheme.
This information may only be supplied for the purpose of assisting governing bodies to determine whether a student who has applied for student support is eligible for a bursary (or other financial support) offered by the relevant institution and the amount of the bursary payable to that student and also, if relevant, to make the necessary payment to the student.
No information may be supplied under these Regulations without, in the case of information provided by the applicant or derived from the application, the applicant's consent or, in the case of information provided by the sponsor, the sponsor's consent.
