Hi Chris Can you tell us whose guidance this is? My current view (which may be out of date) is that we may charge up to £10 for the access to the records. Method of access is not specified or restricted by the only Regulation I can find.

I thought this was covered under the following statement taken from guidance. "No fee may be charged where the subject access request is to be complied with other than by supplying a copy of the information in a permanent form - i.e. by allowing the applicant to inspect the record."

Do you charge £10 for all requests? Do you charge only if it is likely to be a "big job"? Would you charge for somebody merely to view their own Personnel record?
