  • John Edwards, UK Information Commissioner, said:
    No-one needs persuading that a database of pupils learning records being used to help gambling companies is unacceptable.
  • Our investigation found that the processes put in place by the Department for Education were woeful.
  • Data was being misused, and the Department was unaware there was even a problem until a national newspaper informed them.
  • But that should not detract from how serious the errors we have highlighted were, nor how urgently they needed addressing by the Department for Education.
