Dear All
On a Monday afternoon trawl for information.
Previously the records of children who had been in care needed to be
retained for a period of 75 years from the child's 18th birthday but I seem
to remember reading somewhere that there is now a requirement to retain the
information for 100 years.
For some reason I think the Adoption Act and Children 2002 is involved
somewhere but I'm not sure.
Anything to confirm my vague memories (or to expose them as nonsense!) is
appreciated.
Thanks
