: Your correspondence

Please ensure that any of your general correspondence,
acknowledgements or holding letters etc are included or
cut-and-pasted into the body of the email messages, using plain
text, rather than as attachments. As this will mean your
correspondence is much easier to access, read and respond to.

: Accessibility:

When providing any information disclosures please provide it in the
original unrestricted format such as:

a. MS Word .doc or Rich Text Text .rtf format or equivalent
(suitable for disclosure of email messages)

b.Spreadsheets in MS Excel .xls format or equivalent

c.Presentations in MS Powerpoint .ppt format or equivalent

or converted to Portable Document Format (PDF), ONLY if none of the
above formats are available

if you only have a paper version (hard copy) available, please
provide a Digital Photo Copier Scanned version in PDF format. If
you do provide disclosures in PDF from a Digital Photo Copier Scan,
please state that you have done so because no other format, such as
a, b or c above, are available.

If you need to redact text elements of any disclosure can you
please ensure that the rest of text based information remains
accessible to a Screen Reader.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader>

Please ensure any electronic disclosures are absolutely free of any
Document limitations or controls, such as making them Read-only,
Encrypted or Password restricted, as this is likely to render them
less usable on a general basis and more specifically, inaccessible
to Assistive Technology.

Please do not send any information in compilation archive formats,
such as .zip.

Providing correspondence and disclosed information via these means
will help ensure that text based information is accessible for use
with a Screen Reader or a Magnifier for none text based information
and will prevent any further and separate representations under the
Disability Discrimination Act. If you are unable to meet these
reasonably practicable accessibility requests please state why and
provide a copy of any internal information, such as a policy relied
upon that would explain such a decision.

Yours faithfully,

Cassidy, J

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Islington Borough
Council's handling of my FOI request ''UASC Reform Steering Group
'post-18' and 'front-end' sub-groups' (17/05/09'.

In your response you state:

"Please contact me if you wish to make a further request for
information belonging to Islington Council."

This quote implies you are misinterpreting the Freedom of
Information Act. It suggests that you may actually hold some of the
information I have requested but are refusing to disclose it on the
pretext is does not belong to you. The Freedom of Information Act
requires you to disclose any information you hold, the concept of
whether any information belongs to Islington Council is a false one
and therefore suggesting I ask other agencies for information I
reasonably believe you hold is likely to be unlawful. As I stated
in my original request one of you employees is represented on the
groups I mention and as such they should have copies of the
information I requested, as they hold this information as an
employee of Islington Council.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ua...

Yours sincerely,

Cassidy, J

Dear Cassidy, J

I refer to your request for an internal review around the way in which
your Freedom of Information request (our reference 256600) was dealt
with. The Council responded that it does not hold this information and
explained that the UKBA UASC Reform Programme and the LGA UASC Reform
Steering Group hold this information. In addition, the Council provided
you with details of how to contact these organisations.

I have undertaken an internal review of the process and of the response
that were made.

In terms of process:
