Dear Mr Kasim Ali

Your request for information received on 09/02/2011 has now been considered.

The information you requested is attached.

Attachment 1 shows a timeline of correspondence relating to the BASW – College of Social Work meeting and the decision to cancel the meeting. These correspondences are provided in attachments 2 – 11 and represent the entire record held by the University. There are no other documents held by Northumbria in relation to this matter.

You will see that email sender/recipient names and contact details have been redacted. This information has been redacted as it is exempt under section 40 FOIA, we do not consider that it would be in the reasonable expectation of the author for these emails to be released into the public domain and therefore would constitute a breach of the first principle of the Data Protection Act 1998.

If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

If you are unhappy with our response or the way your request has been handled, you can ask for an internal review. You should contact the Records and Information Manager, in writing or via email if you wish to appeal.

Should you be unsuccessful in your appeal, you may then lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner at:

Information Commissioner's Office
Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
Cheshire
SK9 5AF
Telephone: 01625 545 700
