Dear Ms Jewell
Thank you for your recent FOI enquiry.  Our response is below:
a. Have all senior management received carbon literacy training or
equivalent since 1st January 2019? Please state the type of training. - 
Yes - all have attended Carbon Literacy for Leaders & Managers training
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. 
6 Councillors have attended Carbon Literacy for Elected Members training

We are currently in the process of rolling out Carbon Literacy training to
all councillors and employees during 2023/24.
You may, if dissatisfied with the treatment of your request, ask the
Council to conduct a review of its decision under the Council's complaints
procedure. Someone who has not been involved in dealing with your request
for information will carry out the review. Please e-mail or write if you
would like a review.
If, following the review, you remain dissatisfied with the Council's
treatment of your request then you may take your complaint to the
Information Commissioner at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire

Title: Hannah Jewell-Carbon literacy training for senior councillors and
staff

Description of job:
Dear Burnley Borough Council,
Please treat this as a Freedom of Information/Environmental Information
Regulations request.
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.
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.  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.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Yours faithfully,
Hannah Jewell, Climate Emergency UK
