I was chatting to a childminder at the school gates who asked me if I knew the childcare link website was now down and the replacement had teething problems. I said I did.
She then asked if I knew that the list of childminders (full list will all personal data) had been passed to a childminder in the town so that she could field calls and pass on details of minders with vacancies as an interim solution to the problem locally. I said I did not.
Apparently without our permission - our personal data has been given to this childminder - who may or may not have a conflict of interests! Surely our local sure start CANNOT do that? I don't know this childminder and she doesn't know me - but the principle of a government office passing personal data to an individual - surely thats totally WRONG in every sense of the word?
I have emailed my surestart advisor - no reply as yet - but I am more that annoyed at this if its a true account!! :eek:
