How to get evidence for your Employment Tribunal with a Data Subject Access Request

If you’ve been unfairly treated by your employer, use a Data Subject Access Request letter - also known as a DSAR letter, GDPR request, SAR letter - to request your personal data. You can gather evidence of what’s been said about you and your role in conversations that you may not have been privy to.

Examples of when to use a DSAR to get evidence for Employment Tribunal

You can use our DSAR letter template to get information from various sources such as Slack messages, WhatsApp messages, emails, meeting notes and more. Here are some examples of when a data subject access request letter could be helpful:

Example

Sienna is being bullied at work and her manager has ignored her requests for support in tackling this.

She has just raised a grievance and is thinking about making a claim to the Employment Tribunal at some point. However, she’s worried that she doesn’t have enough evidence to back up her claim.

She makes a DSAR to her employer to ask for copies of any Teams messages that have been exchanged between the two colleagues who have been bullying her, to the extent that these refer to her.

Example

Jasper is being unfairly “managed out” by his employer in a sham redundancy process.

He is thinking about making a Tribunal claim in the future, but right now he wants to show his employer that he is going to stand up for himself and not let them get away with how they are treating him.

He makes a DSAR to his employer to ask for copies of any emails or WhatsApps between his managers that discuss his proposed redundancy.

Example

How to send a DSAR letter to get evidence for Employment Tribunal

What our customers say about us

Valla has been a lifesaver for me

They are so helpful and on top of that, everyone has been so nice. I really felt that they emphasised with what I was going through. I will be using them from now until my tribunal issue is settled.

CM

Valla are excellent

I genuinely believe they helped guide me to the best possible outcome for my specific circumstances. They are a choir of angels; I wouldn't have been able to consider going through the processes involved with my experience without their support.

Jayne

If I didn’t get help from Valla, I couldn’t go forward with the case.

The confidence they gave me is beyond description.
