Annual temporary staff spend by individual school

D Boucher made this Freedom of Information request to Havering Borough Council

The request was refused by Havering Borough Council.

From: D Boucher

5 March 2010

Dear Havering Borough Council,

I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in Havering to
third parties in relation to temporary staffing cover. My
hope is to receive an electronic breakdown of amounts paid
through the department's purchase ledger by school.

Notes:
1. I would like the information in electronic format. This should
avoid any printing cost issues.
2. In order to avoid your having to collate information from
peripheral systems, I am willing to accept information only from
your main system (I would like you to advise which system this is).
By main system I mean the system that handles the largest part of
the department's expenditure. If supplier payments are
made through separate systems, then I would like you to choose the
main system for each.
3. The information I require for each school is: School Name;
Supplier name and total amount paid.
4. I would like the information to cover the year 2008/9. I will
accept 2007/8 figures if this is not possible.

Yours faithfully,

D Boucher

Acknowledgement of Information Request - Cost of temporary staff in
schools

I acknowledge receipt of your request for information received on 5th
March 2010. Your email is being considered and you will receive a
response to your request as soon as possible.

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 allows authorities 20 working days,
following date of receipt, in which to respond to requests. You may be
aware the legislation defines a number of exemptions which may prevent
release of the information you have requested. If any of the exemption
categories apply then the information will not be released. In these
cases, we will inform you of any exemptions we have applied together with
our reasons for withholding the information and your rights of appeal.

Please bear in mind the legislation allows access to information 'held' by

Therefore, we may only be able to supply documents or data that contain
the information we hold in response to your request.

There may be a fee payable for the supply of information. This will be
calculated and you will be informed if a charge applies. In this event,
the fee must be paid before the information is released.

Dear Havering Borough Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Havering Borough
Council's handling of my FOI request 'Annual temporary staff spend
by individual school'.

I have requested a breakdown by school. I would assume that
yearly financial accounting takes place, collating all information
from schools relating to CFR E26 - Supply Teacher spend with
agencies, and that a system somewhere holds this information.

If you cannot provide this information, can you please provide me
with more specific details of who can, and not just the DCSF
website. I have had no issues obtianing this information from other
Local Authorities.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:

Yours faithfully,

D Boucher

Dear D Boucher

Thank you for your email, as the information requested is not held by
the Council we cannot proceed with your request for an internal review.

As previously advised, the information is held by individual schools and
in order to assist you a link with the contact details of individual
schools was provided.

I am afraid I cannot comment on information from other local authorities.

Yours sincerely
Mrs Lynch
