Our Ref: DPE25/26 - 757/Redress

Dear Rebekah

SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST

I refer to your letter to the Scottish Government requesting a search of records in relation to your client, Edward Peter Campbell Dillon.

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 based on the information you have provided.

I appreciate that this will be disappointing for your client. However, National Records Scotland will respond to you directly to inform you of the results of the search of their records and may be also in the position to provide details of other public bodies who may hold information relating to your request.

If you are not happy with this outcome and wish to make a complaint, please contact the Scottish Government’s Data Protection Officer in the first instance
