We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of reports of historical abuse and a Subject Access Request (SAR). This is because the complaint is late and there is no good reason to exercise discretion to investigate it now. We will not investigate the matter about a SAR request as the Information Commissioner’s Office is better placed to consider it.
