A SCOTTISH council has been fined 140,000 after repeatedly releasing sensitive information about vulnerable children and carers to the wrong people. Midlothian Council was guilty of five data protection breaches in as many months last year. The first breach came to light in March, when it emerged the wrong childs name had been written on an agreement, which was then sent to the wrong family in January. (English)
