UK: Inquiry after pupil details stolen during raid on house

Posted on July 20, 2012 by Dissent

Roby Reynolds reports:

Education chiefs have ordered an investigation after dozens of pupils’ files were stolen from a school worker’s home.

Documents containing personal information of 45 children were taken during a break-in at the home of a member of staff from the education welfare service at Edinburgh City Council.

The woman had been working with problem pupils with a poor attendance record and had taken the files home prior to the theft on Wednesday night.

Most of the files related to pupils attending Broughton High School although some were on younger children 
at Granton and Forthview 
primaries.
