d by perceived redaction requirements. Recommendations for DfE:  Develop guidance which provides clear information to children in care and to care leavers about what they can access, when and how and setting out clear expectations of what records look like and the legislation which shapes this  Work with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) to update data protection law to enable children in care and care leavers to have the same legislative rights to access support (including emotional support) as adopted children and adults when accessing their records Recommendations for LAs:  Work with Information Governance teams in each LA to ask them to review their policies when releasing subject access requests for young people  Local authorities should engage with care leavers to develop what records should look like. It is important to consider how records are structured, including whether they are in date order, so it reads like a story  Include access to records as part of the Care Leavers process and include guidance and support within pathway plans Key message 6: There is an opportunity to collaborate with other research projects Links to theme 5 and Missing Chapters Collaboration and innovation – the findings of this research resonate with those from other projects such as MIRRA and Right to Your Own History (in Denmark), which consists of eight different sub-groups led by the Danish Museum of Welfare, University College Copenhagen, The Danish National Archives and the National Association for Current and Former Placements. There is opportunity to collaborate with these projects, and others, to share and build on learning. Recommendations for DfE:  Fund further collaborative work with LAs and other related projects, such as MIRRA project or Right to Your Own
