So, another cock-up by Fife Council.

"AN INVESTIGATION has been launched into the loss of personal details of around 50 teachers in a north-east Fife school. Forms containing the home addresses, dates of birth, driving licence and passport details of the teachers went missing after Fife Council sent them to Disclosure Scotland. The local authority insists the forms were sent recorded delivery on April 11 and were signed for at the other end on April 12. However, Disclosure Scotland claims it received only three of the forms and on separate dates."

Fife Council are offering to "support" the staff affected, but basically they shouldn't have lost the information in the first place and the Council should be fined by the appropriate authorities for the shoddy way in which they've handled it. That might make them think twice when they next process confidential information.
