Dr Tom McClintock - John Howard Centre / Personality Disorders

Dear Sir/Madam

You have recently made 3 requests for information to Cafcass via the
Whatdotheyknow.com website.

Under Section 8(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, an applicant
must provide their real name for a request to be valid and fall under the
scope of the Act.

I suspect that the name you use `Mr Piper' is not your real name and
that you are in fact utilising the names of various people some involved
in children's social work.

Cafcass will therefore not proceed to consider the above requests, or any
further requests for information by you, or deal with any requests for
review until you are able to provide me with authentic identification
which verifies who you are, for example an original utility bill showing
your full name and postal address.

On receipt of such evidence, I will progress your requests and will of
course be happy to return any documentation to you without keeping a copy
on file.

If your name really is as stated I apologise in advance for any
inconvenience that providing proof of identity may cause you.

If you are unhappy with this decision, and object to providing proof that
you are using your real name, you can appeal to the Information
Commissioner, who oversees compliance with the Freedom of Information Act
2000. Details of what you need to do, should you wish to pursue this
course of action, are available from the Information Commissioner's
website [1]http://www.ico.gov.uk/

Regards

Miss Jasvinder Jassal
