Dear Mr White 
 
Freedom of Information requests 1100 (784) and 1102 (785). 
 
I am writing in response to both your requests for various documents that you 
originally made on 2 May, and to which we responded on the 29 May, and to 
your further e mails of 10 June.   
 
Please accept my apologies for failing to provide a list of all those senior 
Jobcentre Managers who signed the Diversity Pledge. I misinterpreted your 
request as being for copies of the Jobcentre Plus Disability and Gender 
Equality Schemes and Race Equality Scheme updates as a request for a 
copy of our Diversity Challenge. 
 
Attached are copies of the Equality Schemes and all updates that have so far 
been published and a list of the senior managers who signed the Diversity 
Pledge.  The job titles given on the Pledge are the ones that were appropriate 
at the time that the Pledge was signed in 2007. 
 
If you are not satisfied with our handling of your request please tell us why 
within two calendar months of the date of this letter. We will then arrange for 
someone to conduct an internal review of your request and our handling. The 
review will be conducted by another officer, usually of a senior grade. This 
person will have taken no part in the original handling. You will be advised of 
the decision in writing.  
 
If you are still not content with the outcome of the internal review you have the 
right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner to look into the way 
your request has been handled. Please note that generally the Commissioner 
cannot make a decision unless you have first exhausted DWP’s own 
complaints procedure. The Commissioner can be contacted at:
