I don't know what the site is, my friend was just asking me what I thought about the situation, and how they could resolve it quickly and if possible quietly. However my friend is also concerned that information once on the web is very difficult to remove, and as some of this relates to children it is quite upsetting. I can't understand how someone thinks it's a good idea to make all this information publicly available, without even a password required to access their website.The information could be cached also.

Regarding confidentiality, the parents run the school insurance scheme and this is strictly confidential information; however this person decided to put the names and addresses of children who had claimed against the policy up on the internet. Meetings of any committee I have ever been on have been treated as confidential, but this person posted the minutes on their website. I would personally be very annoyed if anyone put up a website with my name, address, home phone, mobile number, email address without my permission and that is what this individual has done.THat's a strange one. The other committee members could be on dodgy ground in requesting resignation unless the person has breached some policy or protocol. Was there any briefing given to committee members about confidentiality?
Seeking resignation for a 'first offence' seems harsh to me. Does the person admit their error?
If you want to check the legality, consult a solicitor and/or the Data Protection Commissioner. However, I would still believe that there is an onus on the committee to set clear terms of reference for all members, including confidentiality requirements. Assuming that everyone has the same understanding of this has obviously been ineffective.Regarding confidentiality, the parents run the school insurance scheme and this is strictly confidential information; however this person decided to put the names and addresses of children who had claimed against the policy up on the internet.

Surely some of this has to be illegal?
