Our Ref:    SAR25/26 - 700/Redress

Dear Ms Sherratt

SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST

I am writing to you regarding your letter dated 23 December 2025, making a request for personal information on behalf of your client, Stephen Clark.

The Scottish Government do not hold all files in relation to all schools and residential homes and as a result of our searches, I can confirm that we have been unable to locate any documentation within the Children's Rights Protection and Justice division based on the information you have provided.  However, I await search results from the Youth Justice division and I will respond fully once I have the return.

Yours sincerely

Eva
