Access to Records

This information and guidance has been produced by the members of Voices for a Better Future. It is to help anyone who is trying to access their records from when they were in care as a child.
The group hopes that the information and advice is helpful and hopefully makes accessing your records a little easier.

Voices for a Better Future is a lived experience voice group. It brings together people who experienced abuse or neglect while they were children in the Scottish care system. Members of the group want to make a difference. They want to help improve services and support for others.

The information is available as a booklet and as an Easy Read version too.
