Private data lost for 5,000 nursery-age children living in the Leeds area
The private details of thousands of children were found on a memory stick dropped by a council worker. ... it included the names, dates of birth, ethnicity and contact details for about 5,000 nursery-age children living in the Leeds area. The stick, which was found in a second-hand car, also contained confidential information about child protection and whether or not the children's parents claimed state benefits.
