Dear Hannah
 
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST
Reference F/000/2223
Your request for information has been considered and, to the best of our
knowledge, the information we hold which relates to your request is as
follows:
 
I would like information about your council’s carbon literacy training in
relation to climate action for the Council Climate Action Scorecards. This
information may be held by the HR department or other departments that
organise staff training.
 
In particular, please supply me with information relating to the following
questions:
 
a. Have all senior management received carbon literacy training or
equivalent since 1st January 2019? Please state the type of training - All
of SLT attended the Climate Fresk workshop.
 
b. Have all current councillors in the cabinet or committee chairs
received carbon literacy training or equivalent since being elected? 
Please state the type of training - All of Executive attended the Climate
Fresk Training.
 
This training could be from the Carbon Literacy Organisation or another
organisation, university or in-house.  We want to know the number of
people who have attended the training. We don’t need to know the number of
staff that have received a certificate of completion or attendance.
 
The Council did 2 sessions of 16 people, there were a few extras but a
minimum of 32 people undertook the Climate Fresk training and a further 16
undertook a Carbon Literacy session to gain full accreditation.
 
I hope that you are satisfied with our response. However, if you are
dissatisfied in any way with the handling of your information request your
next step would be to clearly state in writing why you are dissatisfied
and the Council will treat this as a formal complaint in accordance with
our Compliments, Comments and Complaints policy. The policy together with
information on how to make a complaint is available on the Council’s
website [2]www.bolsover.gov.uk or by emailing CCCAdmin[3]@bolsover.gov.uk.
