 Thank you for your FOI request.

 

Please note that during the current situation and in line with Government
guidance, the University has restricted access to its various sites and
buildings and the majority of University staff are working remotely. 

 

We will seek to deal with your request within the specified time limit but
we would ask you to be aware that we may be unable to do so in individual
cases, due to unavailability of relevant staff and/or information. You may
therefore experience delays when making information rights requests to the
University or indeed any other public authority during this period.

 

Thank you once again. 

 

Please send responses to [1][email address]

 

Thank you and kind regards.
