Good morning,

Data Protection Legislation
Request for Personal Information - Access to Social Work Records

We refer to your request for personal information dated 22/12/2025. This has been dealt with as a request for personal data under Data Protection Legislation.

Despite an extensive search of council systems and archives, we have been unable to find any of your client's social work records.

At the time of local government reorganisation in 1975-1996, it was agreed that the new Central Regional Council would be based in Stirling.  Therefore, it is possible that your records may have been retained by Stirling Council.

If you've not already done so, you may wish to consider directing your enquiry to:

Records & Information Governance Team
Stirling Council
Viewforth
Stirling
FK8 2ET

Email: [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>

If you would like to know how we treat your personal information, you can read more on the Council's privacy webpage - https://www.falkirk.gov.uk/privacy/.

Kind regards,
Emily

Emily Fraser | Information Rights Officer | Information Governance Division | Falkirk Council
