<p>Where the Home Office have clear evidence of criminal activity, including illegal
immigration, limited data, including a pupil’s address and school details, may be
requested from the Department for Education’s (DfE) National Pupil Database (NPD).</p><p>In
such cases, the Home Office provide the DfE with the child’s name, gender, date of
birth and address (including postcode). The DfE will match this data against the records
held on the NPD and, if there is a clear match, they will provide the Home Office
with information relating to those individuals.</p><p>This process, and the data shared,
is fully documented in the Memorandum of Understanding between the Home Office and
DfE. A copy of this agreement is available in the Libraries of both Houses and is
attached.</p>
