Dear Northamptonshire County Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Northamptonshire County Council's handling of my FOI request 'Complaint procedures and policies concerning social workers'.

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately we would like to challenge your refusal to supply the information requested concerning complaints against social workers.

Northamptonshire County Council has been involved in much publicity surrounding the care of children.

We have not asked for any personal information, we have asked for statistics.

The statistics we have asked for are those which should be readily available and in an easily retrievable format.

There has been high profile criticism of the deaths of children known to the social services and of social workers involved in such cases.

It is not our fault if the Local Authority have failed to collate this information so that it does not exceed the cost limit for providing the information.

We would suggest that it would be in the best interests of the Local Authority and children for steps to be taken to collate this information which could ultimately save a child's life if a pattern was detected or indeed a parent's life if the conduct of a social worker was such that someone decided to take their own life.

In the interim we would ask that the cost limit be waived and that the information could be collated as part of any task to remedy the present situation to ensure that such information is available in an easily retrievable format in future.

Yours Sincerely

Julian King
