I hope that this answers your enquiry. If you believe that the County

you may ask for an internal review. If you wish to do so, please set out

as described in the previous paragraph. The Commissioner can be contacted
at: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. Tel: 0303 123 1113.  [2]www.ico.org.uk

Dear Ms Sumner

FOI Request ref: 6819 / Attendance in Secondary schools

Further to my email of 4/3/2016, Children’s Services have now provided me
with a response to your follow up request.

While East Sussex County Council hold attendance data for pupils, we don’t
have any centralised record of which pupils suffer from depression in
order to provide this information. You may be able to request the
information from Health Services, such as CAHMS, but Children’s Services
think it is unlikely they will hold the information too.
