Historic Data Loss

Powys County Council - 7 December '11

A county council has been fined a record £130,000 for two separate data breaches relating to child protection cases.

A brief summary of the data loss is shown below:

Powys County Council
7 December 2011
Child and Parent
Personal details
Two pages from one report were mistakenly collected with the papers from another case - on a shared printer - and were sent out without being checked.

The recipient of the two pages of the report knew the parent and child whose details were included in the papers, and subsequently complained to the council.

The incident was the second time the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) had received a complaint about the same council, following a similar case in June 2010.

Along with the record fine imposed, the ICO has issued a legal notice ordering the council to improve its data handling.
