following information:

16754 FOI ASC Structure Chart Feb 2020

16754 FOI Commissioning Structure Chart and

16754 FOI Structure Chart Children Services

On this occasion, the Council cannot disclose to you the information you
have asked for:

 1. Email Addresses and
 2. Contact Numbers

The Council considers that this information is exempt from disclosure
under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“FOIA”). 
Section 40(2) provides that information shall not be disclosed where it
constitutes the personal data of someone other than the applicant and that
disclosure would satisfy one of the following three conditions:

 1. That disclosure would breach any of the data protection principles or
would do so if the exemptions in section 24(1) of the Data Protection
Act 2018 (manual unstructured data held by public authorities) were
disregarded.;
 2. That the disclosure of the information to a member of the public
otherwise than under this Act would contravene Article 21 of the GDPR
(general processing: right to object to processing); or

3.    That on a request under Article 15(1) of the GDPR (general
processing: right of access by the data subject) for access to personal
data, the information would be withheld in reliance on provision made by
or under section 15, 16 or 26 of, or Schedule 2, 3 or 4 to, the Data
Protection Act 2018, or (b)on a request under section 45(1)(b) of that Act
(law enforcement processing: right of access by the data subject), the
information would be withheld in reliance on subsection (4) of that
section

In this case, the relevant condition is the first condition. 
Specifically, the council considers that the first data protection
principle would be breached; namely that disclosure would not be fair for
the following reasons:

 1. The reasonable expectations of the data subjects and the nature of the
information itself leads the Council to conclude that the data
subjects could not reasonably expect that this information would be
disclosed into the public domain;
 2. Neither this, nor similar information has been released into the
public domain by the data subjects or anyone else;
 3. That the principles of transparency and accountability under the FOIA
do not override the data subjects’ reasonable expectations that this
information would not be disclosed and
 4. That the legitimate interests in the public having access to this
information do not outweigh the interests in preserving the rights and
freedoms of the data subjects.

In reaching this decision, the Council noted that the following
consequences may occur if this information was disclosed:

 1. Disclosure may lead to the data subjects receiving unwanted and
unnecessary correspondence;
 2. Releasing this information may cause distress to the data subjects and
 3. Disclosure of this information could cause the data subjects to
receive threats or to otherwise be intimidated.

In light of the above, the Council considers it necessary to withhold the
above-listed information.
