Requesting information about deceased individuals

Before you make a request

There is no specific legal right to access information we hold relating to deceased individuals.

Generally, the right to access personal data is provided by data protection legislation but those laws do not apply to the deceased.

We understand that there are times where those connected to the deceased may have a legitimate interest in accessing the information we hold about them.

Any request we receive to access information about a deceased person will be considered individually, taking account of the specific circumstances of that case.

To access your own personal data, please make a subject access request.
