A monetary penalty for £90,000 has been served to Telford & Wrekin Council for two serious breaches of the seventh data protection principle. A Social Worker sent a core assessment report to the child-™s sibling instead of the mother. The assessment contained confidential and highly sensitive personal data. Whilst investigating the first incident, a second incident was reported to the ICO involving the inappropriate disclosure of foster carer names and addresses to the children-™s mother. Both children had to be re-homed.
