Common Purpose Graduates

Dear S. Thom

I acknowledge your request for an internal review of the way the
Council has responded to your request for information. If there are any
specific points you wish to raise, please contact me within the next 5
working days.

For your information, we aim to review your request within 20 working
days and will advise you of the outcome as soon as possible afterwards.

Yours sincerely,

Huw Pierce Pritchard
Corporate Information Officer

I refer to your freedom of information request for details pertaining to
the number of employees who have taken a Common Purpose Course between
July 2004 and July 2010 and apologise for the delay in responding.

If you refer to courses offered by the Common Purpose Charitable Trust
(Common Purpose UK) then I can advise you that for the purposes of
section 1 Freedom of Information Act 2000, the council does not hold
information relevant to your request. However, if information was held
by the Council, t is likely that the information would be exempt from
disclosure under section 40 (2) Freedom of Information Act 2000 as this
information would be personal to the individual staff members.

If you did not intend courses by the above Charitable Trust, please
clarify what you mean by the term "Common Purpose Course" to avoid any
misunderstanding regarding your request.

Many thanks.

Dear S. Thom, Please see attached document - result of the internal
review.

Dear S. Thom,
Further to your e-mail and the allegation that the Council has “tried
to hide this information from the public” - you have been informed
that the Council does not hold the information you requested and that if
it did, it would be exempt information.

Please see below the reasons behind the issue of exemption: –

Local Authorities must ensure that the qualifications of officers are
adequate and sufficient to undertake their specific roles. The Council
processes this personal information in line with the requirement to
process personal data fairly and lawfully in accordance with the fist
data protection principle set out in the Data Protection Act 1998.
The information you seek would constitute the personal data of
individuals and to provide it would not be fair or lawful processing of
this information. As you are aware, any disclosure under the FOIA is
deemed to be made to the world at large and local authorities are
required by law to exercise caution in relation to the information they
publish under the Act . The information you request is therefore exempt
information under S 40(2) of the FOIA as its disclosure would breach the
first Data Protection principle.

As noted in the report of the Internal Review, if you are not content
with the outcome, please apply directly to the Information Commissioner
at the address provided.

Regards,

Beryl Jones.
