Records management
BSS-Do has a records management system whereby student information and course details are kept at the school for the duration that a student is enrolled on a course,and up to two years after. At the end of this period student information is archived off-site for a further two years.
Course information may be destroyed after two years and student information after three years.
There will be a charge of £50 to the student for retrieval of information stored off-site. Electronic records are kept for longer but may not contain the same level of detail as paper records.
You also acknowledge that whilst information held by the school about you is confidential, in the best interests of you training BSS-Do teachers will need to share information about you in relation to your studies with other BSS-Do teachers or the office staff.
