Here's one that I'd be interested to get views on.
Requester A, a long term sufferer of mental health issues that have a hereditable element, has made a SAR (via solicitors).
Contained in their old social care records are references to mental health issues of a parent that bear a striking similarity to the current issues suffered by the Requester A.
Requester would have been between 7 and 12 at this time. It is unknown what information the Requester recalls from that time period.
Question: Given the hereditary aspect of the requester's mental health issues, would it be considered reasonable to disclose information concerning the parent's mental illness with a view to giving the requester a possible origin of their own mental health issues?
Thanks,
Andrew Goodfellow-Swaap
