FOIeng_GenMail,

If you have contacted us with an FOI or Subject Access Request, please
note:

We have been assessing the impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on our ability
to continue to deliver our services in respect of  FOI requests and
Subject Access Requests, while at the same time protecting our colleagues.

We have been reviewing the developments and Government announcements on a
daily basis and have closely followed the advice issue by Public Health
England.

Our staff are working from home, flexibly, and we will endeavour to
continue to deal with your open enquiry however, there may be some
interruption to those making contact with us for the first time. This
means, during this time, we will log any new enquires received however we
may not be able to deal with it fully until the current crisis is over. If
you have already registered an FOI or SAR, with us, we may continue to
work on it and but please be aware our ability to progress cases may be
limited. This is because the Council is a front line response service and
considerable effort is being made to keep essential services running by
redeploy staff from other areas. In that context, we have to make
difficult decisions and it might take a bit longer to respond to your
enquiry.

We appreciate your support and understanding at this challenging time as
we endeavour to maintain essential services while protecting our staff and
customers.  We will update our website regularly to keep you informed.

 

Roddy, Susan, Reading Borough Council

Dear Ms Overend

 

Thank you for your recent FOI request.  We are closely following the
advice issued by Government and Public Health England.

 

We have temporarily suspended our service effective from Wednesday 25
March. We hope this service can be reinstated as soon as possible and will
update our website regularly to keep you informed.

 

This means, we will log your FOI request, but this will not be dealt with
until our services are resumed. This is because the Council is a front
line response service and considerable effort is being made to keep
essential services running by redeploy staff from other areas. In that
context, we have to make difficult decisions and it will take longer to
respond to your request. 

 

We appreciate your support and understanding at this challenging time as
we endeavour to maintain essential services while protecting our staff and
customers.

 

Regards

 

 

Sue Roddy

Dear Ms Overend

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST

 

Thank you for your recent request received in this office on 14 April
2020.

 

You have requested the following information under the provisions of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000:

 

Please provide the organisational structure charts (including names, job
tile and contact details) for the Adult Social Care, Children’s Social
Care and Education directorate covering the following job titles:

 

Director, assistant director, Head of Service, Service Manager.

 

Our response is as follows:-

 

For your information, we are only able to provide you with the names of
individuals who it is deemed to be against the public interest to
withhold.  For the purposes of requests for information under the terms of
the Freedom of Information Act, this is deemed to be members of staff at
Head of Service level and above.  The provision of the names of any other
individual members of these teams would constitute a breach of the First,
Second and Sixth Data Protection Principles and is therefore exempt from
disclosure by virtue of Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act.

 

I have attached the structure chart for the senior management team of
Adult Social Care and Childrens services.

 

In terms of contact details. You can email the people mentioned in the
attachments.

 

e.g Jon Dickinson contact details [1][email address]

The email format we use is 1^st [2][email address]

 

 

You are free to use any information supplied to you for your own personal
purposes or for non-commercial research, private study or news reporting.
However, you do not have the right to re-use the information in a way
which infringes copyright, for example, by distributing, making copies of
or publishing the information, without the permission of the copyright
holder, which in most cases will be Reading Borough Council. If you wish
to obtain permission for such use, please contact Mr M Graham, Assistant
Director of Legal and Democratic Services, at Reading Borough Council.

 

Please note that your request may itself be the subject of a FOI request
and will be disclosed in that event.

 

If you are unhappy with this response to your request for information
under the Freedom of Information Act then you may ask for an internal
review. Please make a request in writing to Mr M Graham, Assistant
Director of Legal and Democratic Services, at Reading Borough Council.  If
you request such a review and are not content with its outcome, then you
have a 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

Yours sincerely
