Dear Lyndsey

Re: Freedom of Information Request ref: 947356

We have considered your request under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. Section 12 of FOIA allows a public authority to refuse to deal with a request where it estimates that it would exceed the appropriate limit to: - either comply with the request in its entirety or; - confirm or deny whether the requested information is held.
The appropriate limit is currently £600 for central government and £450 for all other public authorities. This information is contained in
The Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulation 2004 SI 2004 No 3244.

In this instance we are unable to provide all information within the limit since to do so would require a manual review of files which are not centrally held. Recruitment processes (including temporary staff) within Cambridgeshire County Council has been devolved to managers within individual services and to locate and retrieve all information would necessitate review their records individually. In addition, this information is not held in a format which allow extraction for the period shown, since our records are maintained in financial year format.

Information which we retrieved before the cost limit was realised is contained in the attached document.

I hope this information is helpful but if you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review, you should write to Information Management, at either [Cambridgeshire County Council request email] or by post at Box No. OCT1224, Shire Hall, Cambridge CB3 0AP within 40 days of the date of this e-mail.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the 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, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF, or via their website: https://ico.org.uk/.

Generally, the ICO will not undertake a review or make a decision on a request until the internal review process has been completed.

Yours sincerely
