Welcome to the Mother and Baby Homes data protection hub. This site has two main purposes.
- To provide guides and templates to help survivors of the Mother and Baby Homes request their personal data from bodies which hold it.
- To explain the background of this situation, the data protection rights of individuals and to share some of the stories of survivors which illustrate the importance of access to personal data.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
If you just want to get started straight away then we have a guide and templates which you can send to the Department of Children. All you need to make access requests is in the ‘Resources’ section.
Since this situation has changed rapidly over the past few months we have an ‘Updates and News’ section which aims to stay on top of all the latest developments.
Our ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ page should help. If not you can always drop us a line and we’ll do our best to answer any other questions you might have.
Then our ‘Stories’ section is for you.
Great! There are plenty of things you can do which won’t take long and will really help. Go to our ‘Want to help?’ page to find out what actions you can take.
