What is the right of subject access?

This gives you the right to ask to see the personal information the Council holds about you. You just need to complete the form below, or write to the data management office, with your name and address and indicating the information you would like to see. It will help us if you provide as much information as possible to help us locate all the information you would like to see, for example any reference numbers given to you by the Council, the departments or council officers you have had contact with or any previous names or addresses we might have for you.

You will usually need to provide  proof of your identity and address [11kb] [pdf] or may need to pay a fee (maximum £10.00) but we will tell you in advance if this is the case.
