Data protection breach?

So I have decided to do my SCITT (school led initially teacher training) via a school and during the interview and application process they have given me someone else's completed application form. This has made me very uneasy and I have genuine concerns if they have the ability to ensure that my data is correctly protected and stored. Would I be daft to request for my personal details to be stored manually over electronically and is it too much if I ask the school if they informed the other individual about her data being breached? At the same time I don't want to start off in a bad way either. Am I being too much?

If your data is held manually, t can be lost or stolen much more easily. If it is held on computer, at least all data is within some sort of system.
This sounds like an isolated oversight. In your circumstances, I'd point out that you've received someone else's details, and leave it at that.

Yes, you really are being too much. Focus on actually getting the job before pissing everyone off.

Yeah that is what I am thinking just let it sort of slide and focus on my main purpose being there which would only be for a year. I guess I just don't want my data to be slipped out too even if it is an accident.

You need to tell them. I wouldn't kick up a fuss myself, but they will need to report it, and make sure it can't happen again.

(When I was on PGCE one of the tutors forwarded an attachment he shouldn't have even had himself and there was quite a fuss over it)
