Information Access Officer delivering GDPR and FOIA-compliant disclosures with accurate audit trails.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am an Information Governance and Information Access professional with practical experience managing Subject Access Requests (SARs) under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and supporting Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) requests in regulated public sector environments.
I handle requests from receipt to disclosure—researching, reviewing and assessing large volumes of sensitive information, applying exemptions and redactions appropriately, and ensuring statutory deadlines are met. I maintain complete, auditable records on case management systems to support transparency and compliance.
I contribute to data governance, records lifecycle management, and compliance activities by identifying, reporting and supporting management of data protection risks and incidents. I am confident working with confidential and special category data, maintaining strict confidentiality while communicating effectively with stakeholders.
Earlier in my career, I served as a Data Protection Officer / Information Governance Lead, leading governance documentation, registers and compliance records, and advising staff on confidentiality and records management. Today, I bring that structured, careful approach to end-to-end information access work in both local authority and NHS settings.
