Dear Ms Sherratt

Subject Access Request

I refer to your email dated 3 December 2025 where you have requested a copy of your client Christopher Young’s childhood social work records.

A search of all of our data bases has been undertaken, including Balrossie approved school and unfortunately, no records have been found.

Christopher believes he was placed in foster care in our area but it would appear that was not by us so we do not hold records.  Christopher is from Govan so that is where his childhood records will be.
The following information is standard information provided to all subject access applicants:
