Why does Chess Scotland need to store any confidential information?
Surely it is sufficient to ask, when, a disabled player enters a tournament/competition to provide a list of their requirements in advance as is covered in the guidelines.
It is not up to Chess Scotland to determine whether or not they have the right disability credentials - only to cater for their needs should circumstances dictate.
I can fully understand that there are degrees of disability, visual, hearing, mobility etc. but Chess Scotland is not the arbiter in the different levels of disability. We are simply required to adapt playing conditions/environment to their needs.
Steve - not 3 times in a row please, don't know if I can take the strain of that. :-)
