Lib Dem education spokesperson, @munirawilson.bsky.social, has called for the government to “come clean” on whether children’s data has been leaked and to explain how it will ensure a breach doesn’t happen again.

Tes asked the DfE and ICO whether the breaches involved datasets containing personal data (including special category data); whether the DfE has told those potentially affected; and whether the DfE is subject to any legal proceedings.

The DfE failed to respond and the ICO declined to comment.
