Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) Policy

Requests may be made by a representative of an individual, for instance this may be a solicitor, advocate, friend or trade union. In all circumstances, the Council will seek confirmation that the representative has the appropriate authority to act upon the individual's behalf. Usually this would be a signed letter from the individual or documentation stating that they have power of attorney over the individual's affairs. In addition to this, the representative will be asked to provide evidence and confirm that they have seen proof of the individual's identity as outlined earlier in this policy.
