Month: June 2013

Access to Care Records Group is formed

Thursday, 13 June 2013 by Peter Garsden

Briefing

Join us so together we achieve a fair deal for adult care leavers and their rights and needs to access information about their family history and time in care

What are we doing?

The Access to Care Records Campaign Group (ACRCG) is working with adult care leavers to change the law.  It must be more straightforward for adult care leavers to find out from their care records about their time in care and decisions made about them.

Adult care leavers have the fundamental right to know about their personal and family history. Unlike people growing up in their birth family, their care record holds the narrative of their childhood and adolescence and family connections.

We believe, based on the experiences of adult care leavers requesting to see their care records, that the Data Protection Act 1998 is not a suitable framework and process.
