London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham ICO Reprimand

In May 2025, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) issued a formal reprimand to the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham following a significant data breach that exposed the personal information of 6,528 individuals, including 2,342 children, for nearly two years.

The breach reportedly originated from a Freedom of Information (FOI) response uploaded to the council’s online disclosure log, inadvertently revealing sensitive details about unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and other vulnerable individuals. This incident highlights the crucial importance of robust data protection measures, particularly for public authorities such as the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

For those affected, pursuing data breach compensation can provide financial redress and hold the council accountable for its lapses.
