The Italian DPA (Garante) has imposed a fine of EUR 4,000 on the Lazio Region School Authority. A parent had filed a complaint against the school authority for forwarding data of his disabled son to the Office of Public Administration. The data forwarded included, among other things, information about the child's health condition. The parent had previously complained of irregularities in the allocation of support hours for students with disabilities at the school I.C.G. Pitocco of Castelnuovo di Porto. The school authority had then transmitted the data in order to clarify the allegation. The DPA, however, found that the transfer had taken place without a legal basis.
