Dear Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Cost of placing a child in residential setting outside authority ?'.

There is a public perception that families are being denied support for their disabled children, to attend their local schools and other education/training facilities in Rochdale, due to ‘lack of funds’

This FOI request will provided important public information, to ensure funding for disabled children , paid by the council for ‘ out of authority ‘ placements will enable families to appreciate the wider expenditure for disabled children by the Rochdale authority.

If the authority do not wish to name a particular residential placement then the cost of a disabled child, in any full time residential setting, outside the Rochdale authority, per annum, would be helpful information.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...

Yours faithfully,

Joe Whittaker
