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.
