Dear Freedom of Information Officer,

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. In order to assist you with this request, I
am outlining my query as specifically as possible.

For the following questions I would like the figures for both
primary schools and secondary schools:

1) Does the County Council offer internet censoring software to
schools in Northamptonshire?

2) If yes, what is the name of the software and how many schools
use it?

3) How many schools have decided to use their own internet
censorship software?

4) Have any schools opted not to censor/filter their internet
access at all? How many have made this decision?

5) How many incidents have there been in which pupils/students at
primary and secondary schools have managed to breach the internet
filters and view inappropriate (violent/pornographic etc.) material
in the past five years? Pleae could you provide me with the dates
and details of these breaches.

I would be interested in any information held by your organisation
regarding my request. I understand that I do not have to specify
particular files or documents and that it is the department’s
responsibility to provide the information I require.

If my request is denied in whole or in part, I ask that you justify
all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the act. I
will also expect you to release all non-exempt material. I reserve
the right to appeal your decision to withhold any information or to
charge excessive fees.

I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing/by email that
you have received this request. I look forward to your response
within 20 working days, as outlined by the statute.

Regards,

Dan Perry
