UK: Secret files on care kids found in Wolverhampton garden shed

Posted on September 6, 2009 by Dissent

Paul Cole reports:

Sensitive information on vulnerable children in social services’ care was found in a Midland garden shed by a builder, it emerged last night.

The confidential information is believed to have included private and personal case files of hundreds of children who were held in care in the Black Country.

Sensitive files had been hoarded by the former owner of Coalway Road children’s home in Wolverhampton, according to a group set up to ensure the safety of children.

After the home was closed and all the children left earlier this year, the information was left in a shed behind the property.
