'I am also obliged to inform you that you are now considered a vexatious requestor of information aimed at disrupting the work of the public authority and within the provision of s.14(1) we are not therefore any further obliged to comply with any of your further requests, and will not do so. If you wish to take this further you have the right of referral to the ICO.'
This is often used against people who request several pieces of information. In actual fact they should have stated it was s. 14(1) in the Freedom of Information Act 2000 for clarity. This is a miss use of the act because all the information I have asked for should be available to the public and the answers given to the questions I asked are totally wrong because NCC have refused 3 times to investigate my complaint against an agency social worker who was contracted Sept 2008 to Jan 30th 2009 and her professional behaviour was to say at the least dubious when not reporting in a section 7 that a child had a burnt eye whilst in the mother's care. Public servants don't seem to answer to the public anymore.
