Wolverhampton City Council (Enforcement Notice) [2014] UKICO 2014-28 (29 May 2014)
The ICO has issued an enforcement notice against Wolverhampton City Council, following an investigation into a data breach at the council that occurred in January 2012. The breach was caused when a social worker, who had not received data protection training, sent out a report to a former service user detailing their time in care. However, the social worker failed to remove highly sensitive information about the recipient-™s sister that should not have been included.
