Dear Mr Hai

 

Thank you for your clarified information request of 26 April 2018. 
Aberdeen City Council (ACC) has completed the necessary search for the
information requested.

 

Can you tell me who took the decision to end the role which Mr Sulaiman
held?

The Head of Communications role was disestablished as part of savings
arising from management structure changes within the Office of the Chief
Executive.  This formed part of the Council budget process in 2017.  The
decision was reached at Council, 22 February 2017.

 

Can you publish the details of any exercise that was undertaken to make
this decision?

Please refer to the following report from the Council meeting, 22 February
2017:

 

[1]https://committees.aberdeencity.gov.uk/d...

 

As the details of any exercise that was undertaken to make this decision
is otherwise accessible in the above online report, it is exempt from
disclosure.  In order to comply with its obligations under the terms of
Section 16 of the FOISA, ACC hereby gives notice that we are refusing this
part of your request under the terms of Section 25(1) - Information
Otherwise Accessible - of the FOISA.

 

Can you also publish any monitoring reports you have for the service when
he was in charge? I mean by monitoring reports the reports that the
service would produce for example when he was in Tower Hamlets he wrote a
report every quarter about the communications service.

There are no monitoring reports of this nature and therefore this
information is not held.

 

ACC is unable to provide you with information on any monitoring reports as
it is not held by ACC.  In order to comply with its obligations under the
terms of Section 17 of the FOISA, ACC hereby gives notice that this
information is not held by it. 

 

Can you tell me if there were any complaints of misconduct by Mr Sulaiman
or any of his staff?  I mean if there any complaints against the service
and it's staff for things like behaviour or breach of council polices.

There have been no complaints about Mr Sulaiman or his staff according to
HR’s records.

 

We hope this helps with your request.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Anna Buchan

Information Compliance Officer
