Care Leavers rely upon viewing their records as their only connection with the past. Such things as photographs and scrapbooks are essential for them to feel connected.
Fear of prosecution by the Information Commissioner's Office, we will demonstrate on the course, is somewhat illusory, and that an overly cautious approach to disclosure of records can create more problems than it solves.
We will, however, ensure that by providing generous access to Care Leavers Records you do not necessarily open yourself to the threat of prosecution by the ICO.
