ACRG secures new Records Regulations under Children Act 1989

Monday, 30 June 2014 by Peter Garsden
Child reading regulations

Summary

The government has revised the guidance about how local authorities should respond when a person who has grown up in care asks to see their care file.  The Guidance is statutory guidance: local authorities are required to follow this unless there is a good reason not to.  This guidance is in Volume 3 of government guidance called Planning Transition to Adulthood for Care Leavers.

It states that care leavers have a fundamental right to access information held on their care records. [Para 4.28]

It makes it very clear that the principles and standards for good practice apply to all care leavers regardless of their age. [Para 4.27]
