Dear Sir or Madam,
Further a recent article, quoted below, from the Guardian
Newspaper,[1] can you please email me an electronic copy of the
following information:
1)A copy of any or the actual Freedom of Information Act request
made by the Guardian Newspaper, that forms the substantive basis of
said article, together with copies of any and all correspondence
and information shared between yourselves and the Guardian
Newspaper connected to this request, as well as a copy of all the
information disclosed.
“Suspected victims of child trafficking from Asia, Africa and the
Middle East are being smuggled through Britain's leading ports and
airports at an accelerating rate, new figures obtained under the
Freedom of Information Act reveal.”
: Your correspondence :
Please ensure that any of your general correspondence,
acknowledgements or holding letters etc are included or
cut-and-pasted into the body of the email messages, using plain
text, rather than as attachments. As this will mean your
correspondence is much easier to access, read and respond to.
: Accessibility :
When providing any information disclosures please provide it in the
original unrestricted format such as:
a. MS Word .doc or Rich Text Text .rtf format or equivalent
(suitable for disclosure of email messages)
b.Spreadsheets in MS Excel .xls format or equivalent
c.Presentations in MS Powerpoint .ppt format or equivalent
or converted to Portable Document Format (PDF), ONLY if none of the
above formats are available
if you only have a paper version (hard copy) available, please
provide a Digital Photo Copier Scanned version in PDF format. If
you do provide disclosures in PDF from a Digital Photo Copier Scan,
please state that you have done so because no other format, such as
a, b or c above, are available.
If you need to redact text elements of any disclosure can you
please ensure that the rest of text based information remains
accessible to a Screen Reader.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader>
Please ensure any electronic disclosures are absolutely free of any
Document Restrictions and Encryption or Passwords, as this is
likely to render them less usable on a general basis and more
specifically, inaccessible to Assistive Technology.
Please do not send any information in compilation archive formats,
such as .zip.
Providing correspondence and disclosed information via these means
will help ensure that text based information is accessible for use
with a Screen Reader or a Magnifier for none text based information
and will prevent any further and separate representations under the
Disability Discrimination Act. If you are unable to meet these
reasonably practicable accessibility requests please state why and
provide a copy of any internal information, such as a policy relied
upon that would explain such a decision.
