If you decide you would like to gain access to your file, you can request this from the age of 18 years.
It is a good idea to speak to your personal advisor before making the final decision, as reading your file can be a difficult experience.
Your PA can help you to think about whether the timing is right for you, and whether you might benefit from some support when you are going through the information.
Once you have carefully thought this through, you can apply to access you file on our subject access requests page.
