More lost data
Yesterday's Independent on Sunday quotes a Government Minister as saying that a lost computer disc containing personal details about thousands of justice staff is not thought to have fallen into the wrong hands.
The hard-drive, contained personal details including the names, dates of birth, National Insurance numbers and employee numbers of 5,000 people employed by the National Offender Management Service, who may include many prison officers as well as administrative staff and other workers. It was last seen by contractors EDS in July 2007, but it was not until July this year that the private contractor informed the Prison Service.
Steph Ashley has very comprehensively trashed the reassurance that this data is safe. The fact is, if it is lost nobody knows where it is. So how do they know it has not fallen into the wrong hands?

While my knowledge of the National Offender Management System in the UK is limited (I am according to Plaid "the global village idiot", "clueless" etc.,) I do know that secrecy regarding personal information is everything.
So much so, when working in a prison you don’t disclose anything about your personal life – absolutely nothing whilst out on the landings – Number ONE rule when working in one of her Majesties Hotels.
Now a Hard Drive has gone missing, with the names, addresses, NI Numbers, of staff and it would appear Prison Officers!
As regards the comments of this information not falling into the wrong hands, lets hope so; otherwise there is a very high possibility of prison staff and prison officers being murdered.

Have they put this in writing or is it something somebody has said?
