Nine fife council workers have been sacked for inappropriately accessing confidential files related to Mikaeel Kular.
The 3-year old was killed by his mother Rosdeep Adekoya last year, who sparked a manhunt after reporting him missing from their home in Edinburgh. His body was found in woodland in Kirkcaldy.
Craig Munro, Executive Director of Education and Children's Services at Fife council said:
"We have a clear internal process for dealing with discipline issues and we don’t comment publicly on the individual circumstances of staff."
A seperate investigation into whether Mikaeel's death could have been prevented is due to be published in a matter of weeks.
