National Attendance Management Forum

[Not Protectively marked]

23 March 2009

Dear N McCall,

FREEDOM of INFORMATION ACT 2000

Thank you for your request for Information, received at this office on 19
March 2009, in which you requested details of the following:

I am seeking any and all information you may hold concerning the
National Attendance Management Forum in respect of police injury
pensions.

To assist you in your search, please be advised that the National
Attendance Management Forum meetings are or were held at the West
Midlands Police Tally Ho! training centre. Suffolk Constabulary
will have regularly sent a delegate or delegates to these meetings.
At a meeting held on 12th October 2004 the delegates were Toni
McCormack, Personnel Adviser and Amanda Parker, Personnel Manager.
Delegates will most probably have been drawn from your force's
Human Resources department or similar.

I understand from the Home Office that over a number of meetings a
'round the table discussion' took place concerning police injury
pensions. I have asked the Home Office and West Midlands Police for
certain information, but it would assist my research if Suffolk
Constabulary were to supply documentary evidence of these
discussions. I cannot readily identify what form any documents may
take, so please interpret my request as widely as possible and
include rather than exclude if you are in any doubt. Documents may
include minutes, notes made by the delegates, handouts, papers,
etc. etc. The relevant meetings will have taken place at some time
before August 2004..
Your request will now be considered and you will receive a response within
the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act, subject
to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third
party. In some circumstances Suffolk Constabulary may be unable to achieve
this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised
time-scale at the earliest opportunity.

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of
the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and
the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment
from you. If you chose not to make a payment then your request will remain
unanswered.

Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to
another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest
possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.

We anticipate being able to provide you with information that you have
requested by 20 April 2009.

Should you need to discuss this further please contact Elaine Fisk, on the
below details.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
Suffolk Constabulary.

Yours sincerely,

Elaine Fisk
Freedom of Information Assistant
