Dear Michael Gaffney 

Freedom of Information Act 2000 Reference: FOI-6999-2020

Thank you for your request for information regarding EHCP Plans, which was
received on 27/09/2020.

The council aims to provide you with the information within the statutory
timescale of 20 working days in this case the date is 26/10/2020.
Subject to the information not being exempt or containing any references
to third parties.

While we endeavour to respond to in these timescales, we want to make you
aware that responding to the current clinical priority of Covid-19 may
mean at times, we struggle to meet these timescales.

The council will, as a matter of routine make information available in
electronic format. Where it is not practical to do this information will
be provided in hard copy (paper). If information is required in
alternative formats e.g. language, audio, large print, etc., please
indicate this as soon as possible so the council can consider your
request.

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 define a number of
exemptions/exceptions which may prevent information being released to you
automatically. The council will make an assessment about the application
of any exemptions/exceptions and issue you with a decision letter, which
will include details of your right to appeal.

If the information you request contains reference to a third party the
council will consult with them prior to making a decision about the
release of information.

In accordance with the council's Charging Policy a fee may be charged for
supplying information. If a fee is payable you will be issued with a fees
notice. The applicable fee must be paid in full before the information is
processed and released. The statutory time limit for responses is
suspended until the council has received and processed your payment. If
payment is not received within three months of issuing the fees notice
your request will be closed.

If you have any queries or concerns about this email do not hesitate to
contact us.

Many thanks

Dear Information Governance,

Thank you for your recent response to my FOI request regarding Education and Health Care Plans. Unfortunately, as you'll be able to see for yourself here (https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/e...), your correspondence hasn't come through correctly on whatdotheyknow.com, and the PDF attachment appears to be corrupted. Hence there's a load of garbled computer code at the bottom of your message, which I'm sure was not intentional!

Please could I request you re-send the response another way, either:
- By email direct to [email address]
- via whatdotheyknow.com again, but do not send the email in MIME format

Many thanks for your assistance

Yours sincerely,

Michael Gaffney
