Secrecy agreements

Have those of you who have been given access to adoption records been asked to sign secrecy agreements, either for initial or further access?

I am being asked to sign such an agreement by Barnardo's for information about aspects of my care from over 50 years ago. The other people involved have been deceased for 36 years and 16 years.

I am inclined to think the main reason for this sudden secrecy requirement from Barnardos London is more concerned with individual and corporate backside covering than with any duty of care or the confidentiality of any living persons. It would certainly be a first for Barnardos London in my experience if the latter were their main concern, it certainly has not been in the past in my experience.
