Dear James

I am writing to you in reply to your Freedom of Information Act request.
Your question was:

"I would like to know how many child & adult social workers have undergone
regular independent psychological evaluations while in your employ over
the past twenty years, and how many of them have been suspended or
dismissed pending investigations into complaints or concerns regarding
their own mental stability."

I can tell you that no social workers have undergone independent
psychological evaluations and none have been suspended or dismissed
because of mental stability issues.

If you have any further enquiries regarding this matter please do not
hesitate to contact me.
