Subject Access Request
If we hold information about you, you are entitled to ask for a copy of that information. This is called a Subject Access Request.
You can submit a Subject Access Request (SAR) if you want to see the information we hold about you or your child(ren). Sometimes we receive SARs directly from the people whose records we hold, or perhaps from a solicitor or the Police. We only release information if it is legal to do so under the terms of the Data Protection Act (1998), and the Data Protection (Subject Access Modification) (Social Work) Order 2000.
By following the rules laid down by these laws, we ensure that your information, or the information of your close family members, is protected.
These laws also mean that we have to provide the information you’ve requested within 1 calendar month.
You can make a Subject Access Request in a number of ways. You can write to Subject Access Request team (email via link on this page), or you can visit any of our offices where your request will be noted and passed on.
