Neath Port Talbot Council has confirmed that one of its employees has lost a memory stick containing confidential information.
The south Wales council has launched an investigation into the loss of the device which, according to the BBC, contained information about vulnerable children. One foster carer told the broadcaster that the information could put children at risk.
In a statement to GC News, Andrew Thomas, head of support services and commissioning education and life-long learning at the council, said: "Neath Port Talbot Council has launched an internal investigation following the loss by a staff member of a memory stick containing confidential information."
"It is inappropriate for us to make any further comment until the investigation has been concluded. Action has been taken to inform the relevant authorities," said Thomas.
