Bristol City Council apologises for data leak

The email was sent yesterday (Monday 23 November)

The names and email addresses of children who are disabled or have special educational needs have been sent out in a mass email from Bristol City Council.

The email, which was intended to get feedback on a new service, included the names of hundreds of children living with disabilities, including the email addresses of their primary carers.

Bristol City Council has since apologised for the data breach and says is investigating the matter.
