Good afternoon,
We are in receipt of your request below, however, as per OSIC guidance to
validate a request we require your name. If you wish to remain anonymous,
we will provide you with a response but OSIC may consider your request to
be invalid. Please see the guidance below from OSIC:
An information request must contain the name of the person making the
request (sometimes
known as the “true requester” or “true applicant”). (The definition of
“person” includes
companies and organisation.) This means that requests cannot be made
anonymously and
pseudonyms (fake names) cannot be used
Section 8 of FOISA sets out what a request must include to be valid. If a
request is invalid,
the public authority is under no obligation to comply with the request,
although it should
contact the person in order to meet its duty to provide advice and
assistance (section 15 of
FOISA). The Commissioner has no power to carry out an investigation into
invalid requests
or to order an authority to disclose information if the request was
invalid.
6. Section 8(1)(b) makes it clear that the request must state the name of
the requester to be
valid.1

We would therefore ask you to provide your name to validate your request.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Information Governance Team
