Data Protection & Freedom of Information
In this section you will find details of your right to access the information that we hold. This is broken down into two sections, each covered by the Acts of Parliament detailed below.
The Data Protection Act 1998 came into effect on 1st March 2000 and provides individuals with the right of access to information that may be held about themselves.
This is called subject access. It is a qualified right of access, which does not extend to certain types of information including information that might identify other individuals whose data is held under a duty of confidence.
For further details of how to apply for subject access, please see the Data Protection pages.
