We're new at the school, DD1 started reception last week.
I took done contact forms in this morning to the school office window.
THe, very nice, woman took them off me and left them by her side and carried on dealing with the que - with my address completely on show, for any Tom dick or Harry to nose at! Shock
We are exceedingly well respected in the local community as business people and I really don't think that this info should be getting into the public demain.
At least 8 other adults were dealt with after shed put the form down.
Could/should I complain to the HT re the data protection act?
I'm really upset by this.

I don't give a shit where you live OP.

Are you Police Officers?

Hammy02 · 17/09/2012 11:14

I reckon OP is embarrassed about where she lives. She likes to give the impression to the peasants locals that she is very wealthy but actually she lives in a hovel.

purplehouse · 17/09/2012 11:14

OP - if you were so keen for your address to be a secret, you should have put the forms in an envelope. TBH, what you experienced is pretty common and you will give yourself a bad reputation if you complain about it. Although, in a perfect world, the recpetionist would have put it out of view, she probabaly had a huge amount to deal with.

Your name and address is already public domain unless you have never completed the electoral roll at all.
Heard of 192.com OP?
This is so funny.

Tweasels · 17/09/2012 11:15

BOF Sad eh?

MoaningMingeWhingesAgain · 17/09/2012 11:16

2 others gave in small envelopes which went in a tray on her left

Did you clock that? ENVELOPES. Blooming marvellous things for keeping your paperwork private. Even the plebs use them these days.

Hammy02 · 17/09/2012 11:16

If someone gave a shit about finding out where you lived, it wouldn't be rocket science would it? OP. No-one is interested.

Dawndonna · 17/09/2012 11:16

Compact. Not compacked.
Memorised.
Bijou.
Domain.
Now try again.

You can opt out if the electoral roll thing.

You got 'your' wrong Grin. People in glass houses, and all that...still, I don't know your address to come and throw any stones, so you're alright!

PooPooOnMars · 17/09/2012 11:20

SuperB0F · 17/09/2012 11:22

I'm going into the community to the shops now. I hope this thread is still here when I get back.

compackedandbijoux · 17/09/2012 11:22

No my house is fine tyvm. And no, I'm not a sleb, either.

Well OP. Since nobody here knows who you really are or where you really live why don't you just tell us why you're so keen to remain hidden in this marvellous place where everyone knows, loves and respects you?
