Dear Ms Macpherson,
I refer to your recent request for information from this Authority. Our
answers to your questions are below.

You have a right to make a complaint to us if you are not happy with any
aspect of the way we have handled your request for information. Please
contact me in writing with details of any complaint you wish to make. I
will then arrange for your complaint to be dealt with through our usual
internal complaints process. If you are then still unhappy you may
complain to the Information Commissioner who will decide whether the
request has been handled properly.

Yours sincerely,
Kerry Wolfe

Start of Request for Information
For the years 1998 to the present day:
- the number of people with criminal convictions employed by Hastings
Borough Council
- the top ten job areas where people with criminal convictions are
employed
- the top ten types of conviction employees have
- the number of disclosures requested from the CRB
- the number of enhanced disclosures requested from the CRB.
- a list of positions / job titles (or summary of areas of work) where a
CRB check was requested.
S14(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 provides an exemption from
the obligation to comply with a request for information if that request is
identical or substantially similar to a previous request from the same
person and a reasonable interval has not elapsed between those requests.
We have previously dealt with a similar request from you, our reference
09/298, which we received on 09 October 2009 and to which we have provided
a response. We regard the exemption afforded by S14(2) to be applicable,
and will therefore not comply with this request.

End of Request for Information
