Dear Mark Walker,

Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000

Further to your request for information received at this office, I write
to advise you that the information that you have requested is not held by
Bolton Council:

Q1 Please provide the following information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.

1) What evidence is there that schools' equal opportunity
policies are effective in combating racism?

2) What are schools in your area doing to promote racial equality and
promote community cohesion? Examples of measures deemed to be good
practice and recognised as being successful would be useful.

3) Can you provide me with any evidence that the measures listed above
have been effective (if this has not already been done)?

4) Are further measures required to either maintain trust in
the teaching profession or protect children and young people?

A1 Bolton Council can only supply information held by the council
and not information held by schools themselves as public authorities in
their own right.

Additionally, just for advice the questions above will not be easy to
answer under the Freedom of Information Act as the act requires an
authority to provide information held and not supply opinion or proof that
a project or initiative has been successful or not.

Should you disagree with our decision, you may appeal to:

The Director of Legal & Democratic Services, Bolton Council, Town Hall,
Bolton, BL1 1RU

Should you further disagree with the decision following the appeal you may
wish to contact the Information Commissioner:

Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow,
Cheshire SK9 5AF

[1]www.ico.gov.uk

Tel: 01625 545700, Fax: 01625 524510

Should you have any queries, please contact me.

Yours sincerely
