UK school’s email gaffe exposed really sensitive information

Posted on May 10, 2018 by Dissent

If you are going to make an email gaffe, hope it is not be as bad as this one – or better yet, take proactive steps to make sure that it is not as bad as this one.

Gemma Mitchell reports:

Bosses at Stowupland High School have apologised after an email meant for staff was reportedly sent to contacts on the parent mail list on Friday afternoon.

A mother whose son attends the academy said the email included “highly sensitive” details about pupils.

She added: “There was a whole host of things – there was the safeguarding list, poor behaviour problems, internal exclusions, details of health problems to do with individuals and there were log-ins and passwords to different teacher platforms.”

She said the email falsely quoted her son as having a mental health condition, and listed him as having behaviour problems that had not been flagged to her in the past.
