Dear Freedom of Information,
Dear Broadland District Council
I have received an FOI response via WDTK on the 1.2.21. The person who has determined my FOI has already stated on 14.1.21 that it would be appropriate to correspond with us whilst a complaint was in process.
I am requesting an internal review by an independent person in line with the FOI processes and timeframes under the FOI act.
For the following reasons: -
1. Misuse of FOI Act in Applying Exemptions to Prevent Release of Information.
In Emma Goddard's 1.2.21 decision notice for my FOI [submitted 6.1.21] it is stated that "I consider that it is exempt under Section 40 (1) of the FOIA as it constitutes personal data of the requester. Due to the public platform you have submitted your request via, I am unable to consider the request as a Subject Access Request and do not consider it appropriate to further correspond with you regarding this over a public forum"
Yet, my FOI submitted to BDC also via WDTK portal on the 22.12.20 for which a Decision on 21.1.21 [published by BDC onto the WDTK portal ref: BDC FOI 20-533], Ms Goddard states the following "We consider the personal data of the requester is exempt under Section 40 (1) of the FOIA and has therefore been redacted from the attached files'.
The person who issued the Decision notice and released my private data (in redacted form) on the 21.1.21 to the portal for one FOI is the same person who has now decided that Section 40 (1) must be applied to a separate FOI. The are unwilling to discuss publicly with the data cannot be released onto in the same way to the same portal.
For me it cannot be clearer. My FOI's have been carried out under conflict of interest conditions and the exemption as evidenced above are misused bringing the processing and decisions of my FOI's under scrutiny.
2. The reasons for invoking the internal review process has been set out in my complaints to Broadland District Council's CEO, Mr Trevor Holden in emails of 5th 6th and 19th January 2021.
3. It is stated that the person is processing my FOI is 'unable to consider the request as a Subject Access Request'. I am stunned. There should be no 'considerations' of releasing data through the processes of SAR. This is because I have taken a number of SAR's with Broadland District Council and requested all my data. I was advised on the 21.1.21 that the search for documents had been exhausted. The data/documents which are held under this request should have been released to me under my SAR requests. Unless I am missing a key point of law here, knowingly withholding key documents under the the SAR process and now the FOI process is completely unacceptable.
Yours sincerely
Kerry Radley.

Dear Freedom of Information,
Dear Ms White
We have written to Broadland District Council Officer, Ms Hodds, in response to your 2.3.21 Review of our FOI.
For your information and in the interests of natural justice, here is an extract from our complaint to Ms Hodds of 9.3.21.
“In respect to Sue White's decision notice of 2.3.21. This decision notice is more interference and is an attempt to frustrate and delay of information already requested under numerous SAR requests and follow up appeals by Kerry to Ms Goddard.
As advised Ms Goddard holds a conflict-of-interest position. Ms Goddard has recognised this fact and informed us that it was inappropriate to be involved in our case/data on 14.1.21.
Therefore, Ms White's review and support of Ms Goddard's 1.2.21 decision, under these circumstances, is not valid.
Kerry's FOI was necessary because BDC were not returning any information in respect OPT Officers involvement with the Norfolk Constabulary in her case. The decision notice from Ms White is sending Kerry round in a loop back and back to another SAR is shockingly unacceptable.
We request that BDC release all information Kerry has already requested under previous SAR's in respect to BDC's dealings with Norfolk Constabulary without delay.”
Ms White we wish you to know that it is unacceptable to us that Broadland District Council data protection officers appear to be frustrating our attempts at full transparency from BDC. As stated, it is the case that - despite Ms Goddard recusing herself from involvement in our data on 14.1 - she recommenced processing our information despite herself declared inappropriateness of doing so. This conduct maybe occurring because data protection officers are being instructed to act inappropriately from the leadership team.
Indeed, if your latest decision of 2.3.21 – that inexplicably sends us round in the same loop back to the SAR process when we have already requested this information numerous times – is a decision made out of loyalty to a friend and that you hold a conflict of interest also - we urge you to declare this. Further, if you or Ms Goddard are being unduly pressured in responding to us, and if so, you believe it is inappropriate, we urge you to whistle blow.
As you can see from the extract of our complaint, we have requested that the senior leadership at BDC release the data we have requested numerous times and by numerous data requests. We wish to point out that the ICO have already written to the CEO of Broadland via BDC’s data protection officer. The letter to the CEO from the Commissioner requests that BDC fully co-operate. Given the recent instructions (to re-request the information we should have already received via our previous SAR’s) we will be following BDC’s actions up with the ICO once more.
Thank you
Kerry Radley & Ray Stowers.

Dear Freedom of Information,
ICO have found BDC guilty of data breaches, yet I have still not received all of my data and had the redactions removed. Also have not received any apology from Broadland for their data failings. I am deeply disgusted and saddened by my councils behaviour and continued behaviour. Please have all data to data without redactions sent to me by the end of the month. With the apology.
Data that BDC said did not exist has come to light just last week. You also need to explain why this is and why legal documents were deleted. This breaks your own policy and why these so called docs are in the hands of the general public. This breaks all privacy laws, as court documents.
Yours sincerely,
Kerry Radley
