UK: London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham signs undertaking

Posted on June 19, 2015 by Dissent

From the Information Commissioner’s Office:

An undertaking to comply with the seventh data protection principle has been signed by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

This follows incidents where personal data relating to a number of individuals was sent to unintended recipients due to typing errors in the address of the correspondence. On investigation the ICO discovered that although the council had some procedures in place which should have prevented this breach, the level of data protection training received by employees was insufficient which meant that data protection issues were not a “live” enough issue across the organisation.
