A Structure Chart Request
Dear Dorset Council,
Could you please provide me with an up to date list of the names of social work management staff including Heads of Service, Area Managers/Service Managers, Team Managers/Team Leaders, within Children Services across the local authority?
I cannot seem to find this information from your website.
Yours faithfully,
Hank Orwell
Thank you for your information request.
Please note: A new unitary Dorset Council was created from 1 April 2019
covering the areas/services of the following abolished councils – Dorset
County Council, East Dorset District Council, North Dorset District
Council, Purbeck District Council, West Dorset District Council and
Weymouth & Portland Borough Council. You will receive one response from
Dorset Council. Over time all information requests to Dorset Council will
be answered for the whole Dorset Council area. However, during this
transition period, it may sometimes be necessary to provide information
based on some or all of the legacy councils.
If you have submitted a request for non-personal recorded information, it
will be dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) or the
Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR). Requests for
environmental information must be dealt with under the EIR because
environmental information is not within the scope of the FOIA.
You will receive a response within 20 working days in line with the
FOIA/EIR. If the request will take any longer to process (e.g., if we
need to consult third parties or seek clarification from you) we will let
you know.
More details about FOIA/EIR requests can be found at
[1]www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/foi
If you wish to request information that is your own (or someone else’s)
personal data, it will be dealt with as a Subject Access Request (SAR) and
will be answered within one month. More details about SAR requests can be
found at
