You have requested information relating to the employment of Education Counsellors.

I have reason to believe that the Council does not hold the information you have requested and that this may be held by Kent County Council. Dartford District Council is not an Education Authority and education functions in the Borough are carried out by the Kent County Council. In the circumstances, consideration should be given to transferring your enquiry to Kent County Council. The contact details are:

The transfer may be effected by you reapplying to the Kent County Council.

If you wish to object to my decision in the first instance, or if you are unhappy with the way in which your enquiry has been dealt with, you may ask for an internal review by initiating the Council's Corporate Complaints Procedure, details of which may be obtained by logging onto the Council's website http://www.dartford.gov.uk/council/ or telephoning or emailing me. Should you remain dissatisfied with the decision on internal review, you may appeal to the Information Commissioner, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow SK9 5AF. I would be grateful if you would address any future correspondence you may have in relation to this matter, to me, quoting the reference number FOI 555.
