On the 23rd May, 2018, Cyngor Gwynedd Council finally released to us an unredacted copy of an email written by a Gwynedd Council manager containing our personal information.
They had no right to censor our personal information, this was done deliberately, to prevent us from reading unprofessional and disparaging comments made about us by a senior social work manager.
It should have been released to us in October, 2016 in accordance with our Subject Access Request.
An Information Manager dealing with the issue says there was no legitimate reason for it to be redacted or denied us, this was not the only email that was redacted in this same manner, for the same reasons, from the same manager.
19 months to obtain all the information allowed us by Law under the Data Protection Act.
A process that should take a maximum of 40 days.
We now wonder whether or not the Council provided us with all that we were entitled to at that time.....or not...who knows ?
Something is so badly wrong within Gwynedd Council.
