  1. Wow a Local Authority that abides by section7 of the data protection act 1998, to supply parents With their Social Services file, within the allocated 40 days compliance time.
    Disaster files are sent to the wrong person.
    Yes more training indeed,in some cases Parents are being denied their files by the LA.
    Hopefully improvements will occur?
