A care worker who worked in Kesgrave has admitted to using the workplace computer system in an inappropriate manner.
Mahbub Ali appeared in the dock before Suffolk Magistrates’ Court on Monday. The court heard that the 42-year-old was formerly working in care support at a children’s home in Kesgrave.
Ali stood accused of having "unauthorised computer access with intent to commit other offences," an offence he is said to have committed between July 24 and September 17 last year.
He pleaded guilty this offence on Monday.
Court documents stated that Ali had "caused a computer to perform a function with intent to secure unauthorised access to a program or data held in a computer and with intent to commit an offence," which broke Suffolk County Council’s GDPR policy.
In court, it was said that Ali had access to the computer system as a result of his care support role but was using it for other purposes. It was said he had accessed the data of "vulnerable service users" who he was not caring for.

However, there is no suggestion of criminal activity towards any of the children Ali was working with directly, said District Judge Matthew Bone.
Ali, of Adair Road, Ipswich, was told that he would be sentenced before Ipswich Crown Court with his hearing to be listed in the coming weeks.
