Dear colleagues
I'm pleased to report the successful prosecution of a case involving the
theft of documents from WYAS's Wakefield office a number of years ago.
We did not bring the case but worked very closely with the police and
prosecution.
We have reviewed our security arangements as a result and would be happy
to share what we have learned with colleagues who have similar concerns.
