Accessing someone else’s information

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. Please contact our reception team to discuss this further.

Who can apply?

You can usually apply if you’re able to understand what is involved in asking to see your records.

Someone else can apply to see your records if you:

  • agree to this
  • can’t make decisions for yourself and someone has been appointed to act on your behalf

Young people

Someone with responsibility for you can apply to see your records if any of the following apply:

  • you’re over 12 and you agree to this
  • you don’t understand what’s involved

If you’re under 12, your parents or guardians must apply to see your records on your behalf.
