[SARqueries]

My abusive exH has made a SAR. I think to the police and social services for the purpose of proving I'm crazy to the family court. I reported his decade of abuse and went so far as a video statement but they decided rape, physical assault and coercive control weren't crimes they didn't even contact him about any of it after telling me they would be arresting him within days. I didn't have the energy to push things and just left it. He is now abusive towards dc and despite this a judge has just ordered he has contact. There seems to be nothing I can do about it. My question is what information would the police and social services give him ?

TIA.

He can only get information they hold about him as the data owner. They cannot give out someone else's personal data. Some documents might be released with redactions (I.e. removing identifying data to do with you or the children), others might be withheld completely. Thinking rationally, why would the courts be impressed by the fact you had to go to the police and SS about his crimes? So even if he does get some information about the allegations against him, I can't imagine it would aid his case.

Good point. Apparently it's hundreds of pages he's received so far. I'm still very on edge after the hearing last week and my anxiety is sky high. He's accused me of having munchausens, being psychotic, abusing the dc, generally being crazy along with making malicious reports about him. None of which is true and hopefully the court order psych assessment will prove that I am not a malign influence on dc.

Thank you. So would he know who had made the allegations about him? Would he know about my interview?

I can only say from an NHS perspective but I assume social care have the same rules. You can only be given data about yourself. Any third party material which that party has not consented to be disclosed cannot be. So if a relative gives information about a patient in confidence that is not disclosed to the patient as it is third party.

Therefore I assume anything that you have said about him to social care cannot be disclosed without your permission only information from their own assessments of him and what he has said himself or other professionals have said.

Has he requested the children’s information? Because he may also be entitled to see their info as he has PR, depending on their age/level of understanding.

I don't know if he's requested the children's info but I think so knowing him.
