Dear Mr Bradley

ICO Guidance on the Regulations can be found here:

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/gui...

The section entitled "What if we are unsure what’s being asked for?" states:

"Requests are often ambiguous, with many potential interpretations or no clear meaning at all. Under regulation 12(4)(c) of the Regulations, you can refuse to answer a request that is too general, provided you have gone back to the requester and asked for extra information, offering them advice and assistance to help to explain, clarify or rephrase their request. This might involve explaining the options available to them, and asking whether any of the suggested options would answer their request.

You have 20 working days to go back to the requester for further information. If you do this, you don’t have to respond until the requester clarifies their request – you then have 20 working days to respond to the rephrased request".

On 21 November 2022 (within the specified timeframe) we asked you to clarify exactly what you meant by 'goals for accessibility', as it could have a number of meanings.

You responded on the same day, providing clarification.

As outlined above, on receipt of this clarification we have 20 working days to respond to the rephrased request. Therefore within the terms of the Regulations and the Commissioner's guidance your rephrased request was a new request and we have 20 working days to respond.

Therefore you will receive a response to your rephrased request on or before 19 December 2022.

I trust this answers your query.

Thank you

Carl
