Dh and I are not happy. Social services wrote to fc's birth mum recently and gave our full address in the letter to her. We have asked for our home address to be kept confidential. Birth mum is a Class A drug user and is also a drug dealer and keeps dangerous company. Foster child is not allowed unsupervised contact for this reason and we have an exculsion zone around her home that we cannot enter with the foster child in case we bump into her.
The same thing happened last year and we complained. We complained this year too but like last year it is brushed off as one of those things. Surely this is a direct breach of data protection under the DPA.
No one at Social Services is concerned and their cavalier attitude sucks.
