AIBU for teacher to give out list of names of all the kids in the class

[NotForSale]

Is it helpful for writing christmas cards/ party invites?
Or against date protection/ safeguarding/ GDPR?

Handing out a list if everyone in the class including full names and addresses is NOT against GPRD. It would be against the rules if it was a list of people with a specific religion, political belief, or sexual preference. The schools in Britain have rules against giving out a class list because they want to guard against bullying and because they want issues about bullying to go over them.

Don't just make stuff up!

Absolutely nothing in this is correct.

Of course it is.

Two identifiable pieces of information passed on with out good reason is breaching the rules.

There's absolutely no reason for class parents to know the full name and address of every pupil.

Do you even know what data protection is about?

Cast list on nativity plays? Where do you guys live?! 😆😆😆

Just a normal primary! You get a paper program and it'll list Mary - Ella J Joseph - William Shepherds - Sam, Dan & Zak E Etc Your kids know who their friends are from it. We kept it for years - came out for party invites and general helpfulness!

Can’t see an issue with a list of first names, unless your name is something super rare it’s hard to be identified purely by your first name. My DC’s school did the lists when they were in KS1 and couldn’t remember everyone. My DD is year 5 now and she got everyone’s name off the school times table app…
