Dear Mr. Cassidy,

Freedom of Information Request 52618

I refer to your request made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 requesting minutes, handouts or presentations from meetings or workshops Liverpool City Council has attended regarding key reforms to services for child asylum seekers.

Can I firstly apologise for the delay in responding to you. This was due to the complex nature of your request, the amount of different information which had to be collated before a response could be formed and our desire to provide as comprehensive a response as possible.

Please find attached the information you have requested from the meetings Liverpool City Council has had representation present.

In relation to your questions regarding piloting of key reforms and any formal or informal bids made in relation to acting as a specialist authority, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 Liverpool City Council is only obliged to provide information we hold in either paper, electronic or digital form. There is no requirement under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to respond to, or provide, opinions

I trust this information satisfies your enquiry, again apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience.

Yours sincerely

W Twigge (pp)
