Dear Debbie

 

Thank you for your request for information from Arts Council England.

 

As previously mentioned, I can confirm that this request was considered in
line with our obligations under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. 

 

Your request:

 

Tower Hamlets Schools Library Services limited were awarded a grant to run
the tower hamlets creative writing festival competition 2020. Would you be
able to release a copy of the application and any other documents
submitted by Tower Hamlets Schools Library service regarding this grant.

 

Our Response:

 

Please see attached for copies of the application form and supporting
documents for the Arts Council Project Grants funded activity Tower
Hamlets Creative Writing Competition 2020. You will notice that some
information has been withheld. I have explained below why this is the case
under our obligations in respect to the Freedom of Information Act.

 

Section 40(2) – personal data

 

Section 40(2) provides an exemption from the disclosure obligation where
that information is 1) personal data and 2) where releasing the
information would contravene the Data Protection Act 2018.   

 

The Arts Council has a responsibility to hold the personal data of other
individuals securely and in line with the principles of the GDPR and Data
Protection Act.  Releasing this information would contravene the first
principle of fair and lawful processing.

 

Copyright notice

 

Please note that copyright of the information you have been given belongs
to Arts Council England or to another party. Copyright material must not
be copied, distributed, modified, reproduced, transmitted, published
(including published on the Internet or an intranet), or otherwise made
available in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the
copyright holder.

 

We hope you are satisfied with the way in which we have dealt with your
request for information under the Freedom of Information Act, however, if
you are not satisfied that this is the case then you are entitled to an
internal review. To request an internal review please contact us by reply
to this email, within two months of the date of this correspondence,
explaining what specifically you would like us to review under the Act. 
Alternatively you can detail your specific concerns in writing and send
them to the Chief Executive, Arts Council England, 21 Bloomsbury Street,
London, WC1B 3HF or email to [1][email address]

 

Subsequently, if you are not content with the outcome of the internal
review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information
Commissioner for a decision.  The Information Commissioner can be
contacted at Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water
Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

 

Kind regards
