The ACT Education Directorate has admitted to a human rights breach and to compromising employees' private information after it inadvertently sent unredacted documents about teacher misconduct to a journalist, court documents state.
Former Canberra journalist Craig Dunlop last November made a Freedom of Information request for the documents related to Canberra schools.
ACT Supreme Court documents state that Mr Dunlop sent the request to the ACT Teacher Quality Institute for documents that "detail reasons why any registered teacher has been issued with a formal warning, had conditions placed on their registration or been de-registered as a result of their conduct".
