Looks like their has been a major GDPR Data Protection breach, with regards to this Case.

Not only have they have failed Their mandatory obligation of considering to allow the use of the Kincare Clause in this case, because there was an Auntie that wished to take on the Kincare or Special Guardianship Role, and was not even considered, as well as a major Data Protection breach, by supplying the birth Family with the Address of the Adopters..

Cllr David Gardner, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Children’s Services and Schools responded to the case, saying:

“The Council is deeply sorry for the circumstances in this case but are pleased that the adoption of the children with a secure and settled family has been granted by the Court. We recognise our failure in our systems and the impact that the data breach may have had on those involved.
