Has anyone here been in the foster care system in the UK, and chosen to read their notes?
I was fostered from the age of 13-18, and am now 33. Since the age of about 28 i have been curious about my 'notes' (if thats what you call them) that are held by Social Services about that time in my life. It was a very traumatic time in my life, but i cannot remember very much about it. Has anyone been through this?

I am in the US, but know that those types of "sealed" records are so sticky to get unsealed, even when it's the right and just thing, just because of hard-as-rock legal rules that don't even apply to the situation. My father doesn't know who his real father is because it's sealed away in a department, and my grandmother never told him herself. She's gone now, and he's still fighting to get those papers; it's been years. I hope you can get hold of your records...seems like something like that would be very helpful. Wishing the best for you!

Just did a search and found this website: Access to records
Also I have heard of these people but no personal experience of them: Advice from BAAF | British Association for Adoption and Fostering - you could phone them for some advice I think. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
