Handling information requests under the UK GDPR and the FOIA in relation to the 2021 assessment grades

The 2020 exam grading system provoked a significant number of statutory requests made by students and other interested parties wanting access to information relating to assessment grades, rankings and related personal data.

Secondly, it has produced a separate practical guide on Freedom of Information Act requests.
