Wakefield Council has been reprimanded over a domestic abuse data breach which put the safety of a mum and her children at risk.
“Protecting the information rights of victims of domestic abuse is a priority area for my office, and we will be providing further support and advice to help keep people safe.”
Gillian Marshall, Wakefield Council’s chief legal officer, said “I’d like to reassure all our residents that we responded very quickly to this breach and immediately made sure that those affected were safe. “We have taken learning from it and made improvements across the council to ensure the way we protect personal data is as robust as possible.
“We have new internal processes which are regularly tested and reviewed alongside ongoing assurance checks.Sign upThank you for signing up!
