Attendees at #Blogfest15 were surprised to hear their children's personal data are being given away by the Department for Education to commercial third parties. Why do big name newspapers get our kids' personal data and we know nothing about it?
Our children's individual personal and education data are given away today from a National Pupil Database of over 8 million children and young people.
We've spoken to the Schools' Minister and the Department. So far, nothing has improved. After six months of detailed research and enquiries over the last year, it's time to stand up and defend our children's digital identity.
No one should be given our child's personal data for secondary uses not related to the child's schooling or care, and us not be told about it.
Let's get their data back from commercial third-parties who've been given it without our permission. Let's get new policy. Let's get better law. For our children, let's #defenddigitalme
