From: stephen gregory
23 January 2010
Dear Warwickshire County Council,
1. A campaign to vilify Graham Badman, author of a report into
home education.
2. A campaign to inundate the DCSF with Freedom of Information
requests.
Recent comments by a senior official in the DCSF suggested that
these alleged campaigns might have spread to include local
authorities.
I would like you to provide me with the following information.
First, please confirm whether or not you have observed these
alleged campaigns.
Second, please confirm whether or not you have exchanged any
correspondence with the DCSF regarding these alleged campaigns.
Finally, if you have exchanged correspondence with the DCSF on
this issue then please provide me with copies of that
correspondence.
Yours faithfully,
stephen gregory

Dear Mr Gregory
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - Request regarding Graham Badman
Thank you for your request for information which I acknowledge was
received by the County Council on 23rd January 2010.
Your request is currently being considered. If the County Council is able
to provide you with the information you have requested, then under the
Freedom Of Information Act you are entitled to receive it within 20
working days.
For your information, the FOI Act defines a number of exemptions which may
prevent release of some or all of the information you have requested. The
County Council will assess your information request in light of the
exemptions. If exemptions do apply, then the County Council may decide not
to release all, or part, of the information you have requested. I shall
inform you if this is the case, and advise you of your rights of appeal.
If the information you request contains reference to a third party then
they may be consulted prior to a decision being taken by the County
Council as to whether to release the information to you. You will be kept
informed if this is the case. Any information provided to you would
ordinarily be provided to you as an e-mail. If you require an alternative
e.g. in a different language, or in audio, large print, etc. then please
let me know.
The County Council will not charge a fee to provide you with the
information you have requested, provided the cost of dealing with your
request is less than £450. If it appears likely that your request will
cost more than £450 to deal with then I will write to you again asking if
you are willing to pay the fees incurred, and setting out clearly what
those fees will be, in accordance with the FOI Act.
If you have any queries or should you wish to make a complaint about the
manner in which your request is being dealt with then please do not
hesitate to contact me at [email address] in the first instance.
Any complaints will be dealt with under the Council's corporate complaints
procedure.
Further information about your rights under the Freedom of Information
Act, is available from the Information Commissioner's Office (01625 545
700) or www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk, and on the County Council's
website. I will be in touch again shortly.
