FOI, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

Dear Gurpreet,

Please accept our apologies for the delay in respond to your freedom of
Information request, which I now write to provide the following response
below:

LSHTM has a dedicated counselling service. We have not seen any students
in the counselling service who reported problem gambling.  In terms of
support, all students are eligible to access the student counselling
service; where a student presents with an issue that needs specialist
referral we would aid that process. 

Some standard sections follow on the re-use of the information which has
been supplied to you, and your right to appeal if you are dissatisfied
with our handling of your request.

 

Re-use of the information supplied to you

The copyright of any information which has been supplied to you will be
owned by LSHTM unless otherwise indicated. The supply of information under
the Freedom of Information Act or the Environmental Information
Regulations does not give the person or organisation who receives it an
automatic right to re-use the information in a way which would infringe
copyright, for example, by making multiple copies, publishing and issuing
copies to the public.

Brief extracts of any material which is supplied to you may be reproduced
under the fair dealing provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents
Act 1988 (sections 29 and 30) for research or private study for
non-commercial purposes, criticism, review or news reporting. More
extensive re-use must only be carried out with prior written permission
from LSHTM.

Enquiries about the re-use of material should be directed to the Archivist
& Records Manager (email: [1][email address]).

 

Your right to appeal

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your Freedom of Information
or Environmental Information request, you are encouraged to
contact [2][London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine request email] in the first instance, to determine if your
concerns can be resolved informally. This may lead to a quicker resolution
of your complaint than a formal appeal.

If you remain dissatisfied, you can ask for an internal review of LSHTM's
handling of your request. Appeals should be submitted promptly, and within
12 months of the School's response to your request. If you wish to
complain about a request to which we responded more than 12 months ago,
you should contact the Information Commissioner (see below), as LSHTM will
not process your appeal.

Appeals should be sent in writing to the Secretary at the following
address. You should state as fully as possible why you think your request
was not dealt with in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act or
the Environmental Information Regulations, and the remedy which you are
seeking from the School:

 

Secretary

London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

Keppel Street

London

WC1E 7HT

Email: [3][email address]

 

The Secretary will assign your appeal to a review committee, and will
acknowledge receipt of your appeal. The chair of the review committee will
respond to your appeal within 40 working days of its receipt by the
Secretary. If the review committee decides that information should be
released to you, the information will be provided to you as soon as is
practically possible.

 

If you are dissatisfied with LSHTM's response to your appeal, you can
apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision on whether your
request has been dealt with in accordance with the requirements of the
Freedom of Information Act or the Environmental Information Regulations.
The Commissioner will normally require you to have gone through our
internal appeal process first before he considers your appeal. If the
Commissioner finds in your favour, the Commissioner can require LSHTM to
release the information to you. The Commissioner can be contacted at the
following address:

 

Information Commissioner

Wycliffe House

Water Lane

Wilmslow

Cheshire

SK9 5AF

United Kingdom

 

Further information about your right to appeal to the Information
Commissioner is available on the Commissioner's website
([4]http://www.ico.gov.uk/).

 

Please do not hesitate to contact [5][London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine request email] if you have any
questions relating to our response to your request.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Freedom of Information Team
