Dear C Murton
Re: Freedom of Information request.
I write with reference to your follow up email of 29th April, in which you request the following additional
information;
It seems particularly worrying that a local authority cannot readily ascertain whether a certain group of
children appear to be at risk. Baroness Delyth Morgan has claimed that elective home education can
be used as a cover for the abuses mentioned, which is puzzling to me seeing as so many LAs are not
able to collate that information. Can you confirm that it is not possible that Ms Morgan could have come
to that conclusion from information from your LA?
This request has been dealt with in line with the Freedom of Information Act and I can confirm that we
do not hold the information.
I have been advised by our Safeguarding and Standards Unit that we have not provided any
information to baroness Morgan, her representatives or any local MPs in respect of her claims.
I hope this information is helpful, however, if you are unhappy with the service you have received in
relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision, you should
write to Helen Maneuf, Head of Audit, Scrutiny and Information Governance, Box Res1405, Room 307,
Shire Hall, Cambridge CB3 0AP within 40 days of the date of this letter.
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the
Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
Kind regards
Sarah Priestley
Information Governance Officer.
