Subject Access Requests (SARs)
Councils are currently addressing broader data and resident interaction issues, with no specific discussions on Subject Access Requests reported.
While Subject Access Requests (SARs), which are requests made by individuals for access to their personal data held by an organisation, are a key aspect of data protection, the supplied material does not report any specific discussions or decisions by councils regarding them.
Instead, recent council activities have focused on managing the overall volume of resident complaints and inquiries, and addressing data breach incidents. For example, Lambeth Council's Audit and Risk Committee reviewed a nearly 50% surge in complaints in July 2026, impacting response times.
