Dear Mr Baker,

SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST - 20434

I write in response to your subject access request received on 30 October 2025.

Although St Andrews Approved School did fall within Argyll and Bute it was run by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Glasgow and records would be held by the placing authority.  Bellfield was located in Dumbarton and likewise records would be held by the placing authority. You did advise that your client Mr McAulay was living in Dalmuir prior to being taken into care and would therefore recommend a Subject Access Request being submitted to West Dunbartonshire Council.

I am sorry that we are not able to further assist your client Mr McAulay on this occasion.

Should you have any concerns about the information provided to you, I would be grateful if you could contact me to discuss this in the first instance.  I can also advise that you are entitled to raise any concerns regarding the processing of personal information with the Information Commissioner, who can be contacted as follows: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF Tel: 0303 123 1113 or via their website at http://www.ico.org.uk/

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions in relation to your subject access request, or if I can be of any further assistance.

Yours sincerely

Joseph Bennett
