Summary
A NSW Auditor-General report reveals serious data privacy breaches in schools, including two students accessing 2,000 confidential behaviour and mental health files, and school files found on a construction site. The report criticizes the lack of departmental oversight over third-party digital products used by schools, tracing the issue back to the former Coalition government's Local Schools, Local Decisions policy that allowed schools to adopt their own technology solutions without adequate safeguards.
