在家庭背景下，故事、照片和记忆物品支持身份和归属的叙述。对于那些从小就被照顾的人来说，这些资源往往是缺失的。因此，他们可能无法填补记忆中的空白，也无法回答有关他们早期生活的简单问题。在这种情况下，他们求助于社会工作者和护理提供者为他们创建的记录，以重建个人历史。研究表明，根据数据保护立法的主题访问规定，英格兰每年有数千次为此目的查看记录的请求。本文报道了MIRRA的研究结果，MIRRA是一个关于社会关怀记录保存的记忆和身份维度的参与性研究项目。利用在访谈和焦点小组与成人护理离开者收集的数据，该研究探讨了护理经验丰富的人谁访问他们的记录在英格兰的动机和经验。调查结果显示了他们在这样做时面临的实际和文化挑战以及对福祉的影响。这项研究表明，以人为本的方法来记录保存在社会工作中，重点是个人的观点和经验，可以更好地支持终身记忆和身份的需要护理经验丰富的人。
In family settings stories, photographs and memory objects support narratives of identity and belonging. Such resources are often missing for people who were in care as children. As a result, they may be unable to fill gaps in their memories or answer simple questions about their early lives. In these circumstances, they turn to the records created about them by social workers and care providers to reconstruct personal histories. Research suggests that thousands of requests to view records for this purpose are made each year in England under the subject access provisions of data protection legislation. This article reports the findings ofMIRRA, a participatory research project on the memory and identity dimensions of social care recordkeeping. Drawing on data collected during interviews and focus groups with adult care leavers, the study explores the motives and experiences of care-experienced people who access their records in England. Findings show the practical and cultural challenges they face when doing so and the resulting impacts on well-being. The study suggests that the development of person-centred approaches to recordkeeping in social work, which focus on the perspectives and experiences of the individual, could better support the lifelong memory and identity needs of care-experienced people.
