Dear Mr Dixon
Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) places two duties on public
authorities. Unless exemptions apply, the first duty at Section 1(1)(a) is to confirm or
deny whether the information specified in the request is held. The second duty at
Section 1(1)(b) is to disclose information that has been confirmed as being held.
Your request for information received on 20 November 2019 has now been considered
and I can confirm that Glyndŵr University does
hold the information that you have
requested.
The total spend on staff and student wellbeing services (or the equivalent
department) during the 2018/19 academic year. –
See Attached Spreadsheet.
Are student mental health services funded by the total identified above?
No –
Student Mental Health Service would be funded through the Health and
Wellbeing and Student Funding categories = £230,320.14
If not, could you please identify which departments are responsible for student
mental health support? ?
The area is Student Services, where they can access
health and well-being advice, funding and money advice, chaplaincy and
counselling.
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request or wish to request an internal
review please contact the Freedom of Information Officer at
xxx@xxxxxxx.xx.xx within
40 days of receiving the University’s response.
A senior member of staff, who has not been involved with the request, will undertake
an internal review to ensure that due process has been followed and to determine
whether or not sound reasoning in line with the FOIA or EIR has been followed. You
may raise a complaint where you believe we have:
Failed to respond to your request within the time limits (normally 20 working days)
Failed to tell you whether or not we hold the information
Failed to provide the information you have requested
Failed to explain the reasons for refusing a request
Failed to correctly apply an exemption or exception
You will be informed of the outcome of the internal review within 40 working days, in
line with the Information Commissioner’s guidance. The Review will either uphold the
original decision, provide additional explanation of the exemption/exception applied or
release further information, if it is considered appropriate to do so.
