The purpose of this consultation was to gather views on a Department for Education draft advice document intended to explain the legal duties schools and colleges have if they use automated biometric recognition systems.

The consultation sought feedback on the Department for Education’s draft advice document before publishing final advice in the 2012 autumn term, ahead of the duties in the Protection of Freedoms Act coming into force in September 2013. The consultation was open from 14 May to 3 August 2012.
