Make a Data Protection request

Under the Data Protection Act and the UK GDPR you have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you. You are only entitled to make a request for personal information on behalf of another living adult if you have authorisation to do this. Parents or guardians are allowed to make a request for personal information on behalf of their children, although if the children are aged 13 or over then they must give their permission for this.

We need some details from you to help us to find the information that you are interested in and to deal with your request as efficiently as possible. We also need proof of identity, as we need to be satisfied that you are entitled to the information.

Your responsibilities are:
