Social Care Records

If you have had dealings with any of our Social Care teams (Adult Social Care or Children and Families), then it's likely that they hold information about you.

We have produced a brochure which explains which records might exist, which ones you may have access to, and how you can apply for access.

The brochure is available as a downloadable PDF file:

Social Care and You - Access to Your Personal Information (283Kb)
