Dear Jake H

 

Your request for information ref: SOT-100343

 

Section 8(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 sets out the
requirements of a valid request and says that a request must, amongst
other things, 'state the name of the applicant and address for
correspondence'.

 

As you have not provided a name, your request is not valid under the terms
of the Act.

 

ICO guidance states “a title and/or first name with surname satisfies the
requirement for provision of a real name”.

 

If you wish to continue with your request, please contact
[1][Stoke on Trent City Council request email] and provide a name to which we can correspond.

 

Yours sincerely

Dear Stoke on Trent City Council,

Thankyou for your reply. Correcrly speaking the act enforces this condition when the applicant has used their first name only (See Section 8(1)(b))

'can’t be identified from the name provided (for example because they have only usedtheir first name or initials);'

However in the interest of moving this reqeuest forward for my project research I have disclosed my surname below.

Yours faithfully,

Jake Humphreys

Dear Stoke on Trent City Council,

Good afternoon,

Any individual who's employment consists of providing care to others, including onsite or home visit workers.

I believe adult care may be more appropriate towards the research im conducting.

Yours faithfully,
