If you make a request to this authority, they might tell you that you need to complete a form on their website. The ICO have confirmed that whilst a public authority can request a form is filled in, you are not obliged to do this. By law, the authority has to provide a response to requests that they receive via WhatDoTheyKnow. If they ask you to fill in a form, you should challenge this.

Requests sent via WhatDoTheyKnow are valid. There is no-need to re-send them via a public body's web-form.

We at WhatDoTheyKnow are concerned about requests being refused on the grounds they have been made by email, rather than, for example via a public body's website. Requests in-writing are valid however they are sent to a public body (see the Information Commissioner's Guidance on making valid requests).

We are tracking occurrences of this issue, and encourage you to let us know about further examples.
