Lib Dem education spokesperson, @munirawilson MP, has called for the government to “come clean” on whether children’s data has been leaked and to explain how it will ensure a breach doesn’t happen again.

Tes asked the DfE and ICO whether the breaches involved datasets containing personal data (including special category data); whether the DfE has told those potentially affected; and whether the DfE is subject to legal proceedings. DfE failed to respond and ICO declined to comment.

New for @tes - the DfE has admitted it leaked the personal data of as many as 84,532 people last financial year. The breaches are “likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals” including: discrimination, damage to reputation and financial loss.
