Social services files

Is there a way to get a copy of my files from like 2011 or something. Will they still have the files from the case about my birthparents.
What about the police ones 🤔 can I get them from the day I was taken into care? Will they have already gone? How would I get them from Blackpool social services and police?
Will there be different files in the social services in Hull? That's where the story started with my birth parents becoming known to them
Am I allowed the files even when I'm under 18? Do I need legal requests for the files, like a lawyer or attorney thingy?
What if I cant get the files? How will I find out the whole story of my past? My past is just a puzzle picture filled with missing peices. Non of my past makes sense.
I JUST WANT TO FIGURE THE WHOLE STORY OUT 😭
sorry for all the questions ☹️

Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

I found this information online which might be helpful for you. It is about how to access any personal records. https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/legal-rights/accessing-my-personal-information/how-to-ask-for-your-personal-data/
I can hear your frustration and you totally deserve to figure out your whole story.
Let me know if this information helps and if you have any more questions about which path to take when trying to get hold of your files please don't hesitate to reach out. I would be more than happy to investigate this for you.
Good luck and keep me updated!
