This section covers how you can request further information and how to find out if we keep any personal details about you.
Making your request
When you send us your request please
Be specific
You will get the information faster if you help us identify the exact information you require. It will also mean that your request is less likely to be turned down on cost grounds. Make sure that you:
- are specific about exactly what information you want
- provide us with a narrow, tightly focused request
- give, where appropriate, a relevant time frame, for example, 1999 to 2000 or January to April 1985
Let us know how you want the information
Tell us how you would you like the information provided to you, for example, by post or email, or let us know if would you prefer to come in to visit us to view it in person. We will try to meet your preference whenever we can.
Provide your contact details
There may be occasions when we have to get in touch with you to discuss your request. It would therefore help if you could tell us how you would prefer us to contact you if we need to do so.
