Dear Ms Sherratt,

I write in response to your subject access request received on 15 December 2025.

Social Work records are held by the Authority who supervised the care and where the client was taken in to care from. In terms of Cardross Assessment Centre, although Cardross does fall within the Argyll and Bute area now, historically, this would have been under Strathclyde Regional Council and subsequently West Dunbartonshire took over Cardross Assessment Centre. Again, any records are likely to be held by the placing authority. I note from your request that Ms Brannan was taken in to care from Cumbernauld area, therefore records would be held by North Lanarkshire Council.

I am sorry that we have been unable to locate any records for Ms Brannan and would recommend that a Subject Access Request is made to North Lanarkshire Council who may be able to assist.

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,

Kirsty Robertson
