Acknowledgement
Dear F Mason,
Thank you for your request of 4 October 2009 seeking information about CAFCASS and for your clarification of 8 October 2009.
Requests for information are processed according to 3 Rights of Access laws, briefly explained below:
Data Protection Act 1998 enables you to access information held about you (for example your own education, medical records, credit reference files, personnel file etc.)
Environmental Information Regulations 2004 enable you to access environmental information relating to air, water, land, natural sites, flora and fauna, the built environment, the food chain and health. It also covers information relating to decisions or activities affecting, or likely to affect any of these.
Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives you the general right of access to all types of `recorded' information held by public authorities, including Government Offices.
Unless the information requested is specifically exempt from release by the laws governing these pieces of legislation you have the right to know if the information exists and have it supplied upon request.
Your enquiry is being considered according to the Freedom of Information Act 2000. A response should be despatched to you no later than 1 November 2009.
In some circumstances a fee may be chargeable and if that is the case, I will let you know the likely charges before proceeding.
If you have any queries regarding this letter, please contact me. Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.
Yours sincerely
Rupert Sheard
Safeguarding Children Policy Lead
