Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language – in the Senedd at 2:48 pm on 2 March 2022.
From our meeting in December, you will, I know, be aware that we can't legally prevent schools from collecting and using biometric data. However, as a consequence of the discussions and the issues that the Member helped us understand better, officials are currently revising the guidance for schools and local authorities to ensure that where data is collected and used, it is done in the appropriate way.
