Dear Cabinet Office,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Cabinet Office's handling of my FOI request 'Abuse procedure'.
We respectfully reject that additional time is needed to determine whether it is in the public interest to release "the procedure which outlines the action Downing Street cleaning staff and security staff may take if they are 'taunted by Downing Street officials'." It is more likely that this is a delay tactic in an attempt to protect prevent the public from seeing this information which is in their interest to see as it establishes action Downing Street staff can take if abused by officials. We also think this could be an attempt to protect potential abusers.

You have 40 working days to complete an internal review on the handling of this request so far. Should you inform us that you are not completing one, or claim there "is nothing to review", there is no further legal requirement for us to wait any longer. Be advised we would then pass the matter directly to the Information Commissioner.

Thanks very much for providing this information. We have no issue with the redactions as they appear to be telephone numbers or other methods of communicating with individuals providing support to potential victims of abuse.
