SAR Records
I am conducting some research on Subject Access Requests for Children's Records.
What is the percentage completion rate for Children's Records for SAR applications made from children previously in LA care which are completed within the extended three-month deadline as provided by the ICO? What percentage are completed within three months, and what percentage are not?
This applies only where the request for former LAC or CIC requests full disclosure of all historical child records, for example where the child has been in LA care for 10/20 years maybe, the local authority would have to disclose all electronic and archived records pertaining to that individual for that whole period and are disclosed and redacted if necessary.
Please provide percentages for the last five years. How many staff are allocated to this role at any one time?
If you do not disclose such records due to their volume and would insist on providing only a selection please say this is what you do.
Please provide percentages for the last five years.

How many staff are allocated to this role at any one time?
The council have 5 team members who work on SAR’s but this is not their only task as they also undertake other duties.
If you do not disclose such records due to their volume and would insist on providing only a selection please say this is what you do.
