Safeguarding

The request was refused by West College Scotland.

Dear West College Scotland,

How many students have you enrolled in your college in the following academic years, in the knowledge that they were listed on the Sex Offenders Register at that time?
2015-16
2016-17
2017-18 (to date)

How many of these students were subject to a MAPPA plan or similar conditions?

How many of these students failed to adhere to the conditions applied?

How many of these students attained the qualification they were seeking?

Yours faithfully,

Karen MacLean

Dear West College Scotland,

I'd like you to review your response to this request, as the content of it is unclear.
The original question asked if you enrolled students 'with the knowledge'... etc.
Your response does not make it clear whether:
You keep records, but there are no records of any students who were on the SOR
You do not keep records, and there are no records of any students on the SOR
You are refusing to confirm or deny any such records

Can you please clarify, preferably with reference to your safeguarding policy.

Yours sincerely,

Karen MacLean

Dear Mr Gunn,
I have just noticed the paragraph in your letter that states that if I want to request a review, I must do this in writing, with my name and address details. Basically, you say my request:
Must be in writing
Must specify your name and address for correspondence
Must specify reasons for review.
Your third point is correct, and this has been communicated on What Do They Know (above).
Your other demands are not correct, and this will be highlighted if this request is forwarded for complaint to the Scottish Information Commissioner.
I would ask you to review this decision as requested, and if contact details are required, these will readily be made available to the Commissioner's office.
I look forward to hearing from you regarding the outcome of your review, within the statutory timeframe.

Yours sincerely,

Karen MacLean
