Dear Seymour Borealis,

Your information access request- IR1-4688096707

Thank you for your email dated 29 November 2024 asking for the following
information.

Please state for each month in the last two years the number of employees
that have resigned from their position with you.

Please also state if there was a reason/exit interview recorded - list any
reasons given in each month.

I’ve considered your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(FOIA).

Please find attached the number of resignations for the year 2023-2024 .

We have also provided a breakdown of the reasons provided in the exit
questionnaires where held.  Kindly note that the reasons provided have
been categorized into broader, higher-level groups. It is also important
to note that it is not mandatory that an exit questionnaire is completed
when leaving therefore, we do not have this data for all leavers. Exit
questionnaires are only held for approximately 50% of leavers.            
                                                                                                                                                           

However, we can’t provide specific reasons in the exit questionnaires
because it would breach data protection legislation to give this to you.

The exemption

Section 40(2), by virtue of section 40(3A)(a)

This exemption applies where the information is the personal data of a
third party and where releasing the information would breach any of the
principles relating to the processing of personal data listed at Article 5
of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In this instance
disclosure would breach the first principle, which requires the processing
of information to be lawful, fair and transparent. I do not believe that
any of the legal bases for processing listed at Article 6 of the GDPR are
met and therefore giving you the information would be unlawful.

I hope you find this information useful. If you have any queries about
this, or need anything further, please send an email to [1][email
address].

Kind regards,

Information Access Team
