Dear Mark

Thank you for your request for information on government and intergovernmental partnerships dated 4 October 2008.

Please find attached a document which I hope answers your questions. It consists of two lists.

1. The first list details meetings that have been held between the National School of Government and government or intergovernmental organisations outside of the United Kingdom that provide educational, learning, training, or professional development programs to their respective employees since the inception of the National School of Government in June 2005.

2. I have found no information that the National School has entered into any "agreements of confidentiality" with other organisations. However, with 31 of the above named organisations, we have entered into various forms of agreement ranging from informal to formal partnerships and/or contractual relationships. These organisations are also listed.

If you have any questions relating to this email, please don't hesitate to contact me.

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision you should write to:

If you're not content with the outcome of your complaint, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the Information Commissioner's Office cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by the National School of Government.
