Freedom of Information request for document redaction

We're waiting for Yijun chen to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is a request for records under the Freedom of Information Act (2000). I am requesting the record about document redaction in detail. In particular, I ask for:

1. Copies of any business process, manual, procedure or policy concerning document redaction in your organization.
2. If recorded, please indicate the FTE (staff time) spent on document redaction by your organization per year. I am only interested in the most recent figure for this.
3. If recorded, please provide the expenditure on document redaction per year. Again, I am only interested in the most recent figure for this.
4. If recorded, please provide any estimates on how much document redaction is undertaken by your organization (e.g., number of documents / pages of material).
5. Please indicate any software currently used for document redaction (e.g., Adobe Acrobat Pro).
6. Do you use specialist staff who have undergone specific training to undertake document redaction? If so, please indicate the specific training and/or qualifications for these staff.

Disclosure of the requested information to me is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to the public understanding of the operations or activities of the public authorities; and is not primarily my commercial interest. I hope you will be able to provide this information.

If I can assist in any way, please let me know.

Yours faithfully,

Yijun Chen

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is a follow- up request since we expect that normally authorities can respond promptly and by 14 April 2022 to comply with section 10 of FOIA. Under Section 10(1) states that an authority must comply with section 1(1) of the Act promptly and in any event not later than the twentieth working day following the date of receipt.’

I would therefore be grateful if the information could be provided without further delay.

Best wishes
Yijun Chen
