Dear South Ayrshire Council,
Please note I do not now require a break down of numbers per school, as I appreciate that the numbers we talking about here are minimal and may identify an individual.
To assist I require the data from academic year 2019/20 to date broken down AY on AY.
Yours faithfully,

Good afternoon
Thank you for your recent enquiry which was given the above reference
number.
1. Per School, please provide the number of pupils that have been: a)
Officially disciplined by the school for alleged discriminatory or
homophobic behaviour or views against trans gender EDUCATION? b) Reports
made to the police for alleged discrimination or homophobic behaviour or
views against trans gender EDUCATION?
2. Per School, please provide the number of parents/guardians that have
been:Officially reported by the school for their child/pupils alleged
discriminatory or homophobic behaviour or views against trans gender
EDUCATION?
This information is not readily available from Central Education
Management Information Systems and would require Senior Management Staff
within each school to look through individual pupil records.
51 Senior Management School Staff x 20 hours per school
51 staff x 20 hours x £15.00 = £15,300
Clerical Assistant (Central Education Team) to distribute to all schools
and collate responses
2 hours x £12.42 = £24.84
Total
£15, 324.84
As this is over the £600 threshold set by the legislation, the information
is exempt under Section 12.
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request you can ask for
a review. A request for a review must be submitted within 40 working days
and should be put in writing to Deborah McVey, Information Governance Team
Leader, South Ayrshire Council, County Buildings, Wellington Square, Ayr
KA7 1DR, Tel: 01292 612223, Email: [1][South Ayrshire Council request email]. If you
remain dissatisfied after a review, you have the right to apply to the
Scottish Information Commissioner for a decision. This must be submitted
within 6 months after the review and should be put in writing to the
Scottish Information Commissioner at Kinburn Castle, Doubledykes Road, St.
Andrews, Fife KY16 9DS, Tel: 01334 464610 Email:
[2][email address] or use the online portal

Dear South Ayrshire Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of South Ayrshire Council's handling of my FOI request 'Disciplinary/Police Reports by School against pupils/parents re Anti Trans Gender Education.'.
I must rebut the application of this exemption as other councils have been able to respond properly to this request without applying a cost exemption.
For example https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/d...
Dundee City Council
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/d...

Dear South Ayrshire Council,
I have to say that is one magnificent, manufactured fabrication of cost for providing the response to this request.
How on earth do you expect to gain the public's confidence with counterfeit and forged declarations such as the extreme cost you quoted in the public realm.
Yours faithfully,
Police Scotland Angels

Dear Sir/Madam
I refer to your request for an Internal Review of the Council's handling of your information request. I note that you wish a review of the costing applied to the provision of the information requested by you. I write to clarify that the information you requested is not held at a centralised location where it can be easily extracted, and it would require each school in South Ayrshire to check individual pupil files, gather the data where there is an instance that relates to each part of your request, and then centrally collate this data into one spreadsheet for the purposes of responding to your request. While I appreciate that other Council's may centrally collate this information, this may not be the case with other Local Councils.
Can I please clarify that you consider that South Ayrshire Council can reasonably provide this data to you within the costing threshold of FOISA (£600) and that you consider the application of this exemption to your request is unreasonable.
Once I have this clarification, I will take steps to carry out the Review as requested.
Regards
Deborah

Good afternoon
Can you please clarify the basis for your internal review, as per my email of 7th December.

Dear FOI,
If a number of other councils can provide this information contained in their records, without applying a cost exemption and you have the same similar records management systems in place, then with respect I must proceed to internal review.
