How to Fix It
The address may be misspelled or may not exist. Try one or more of the
following:
* Send the message again following these steps: In Outlook, open this
non-delivery report (NDR) and choose Send Again from the Report
ribbon. In Outlook on the web, select this NDR, then select the link
"To send this message again, click here." Then delete and retype the
entire recipient address. If prompted with an Auto-Complete List
suggestion don't select it. After typing the complete address, click
Send.
* Contact the recipient (by phone, for example) to check that the
address exists and is correct.
* The recipient may have set up email forwarding to an incorrect
address. Ask them to check that any forwarding they've set up is
working correctly.
* Clear the recipient Auto-Complete List in Outlook or Outlook on the
web by following the steps in this article: [1]Fix email delivery
issues for error code 5.1.10 in Office 365, and then send the message
again. Retype the entire recipient address before selecting Send.
If the problem continues, forward this message to your email admin. If
you're an email admin, refer to the More Info for Email Admins section
below.

More Info for Email Admins
Status code: 550 5.1.10
This error occurs because the sender sent a message to an email address
hosted by Office 365 but the address is incorrect or doesn't exist at the
destination domain. The error is reported by the recipient domain's email
server, but most often it must be fixed by the person who sent the
message. If the steps in the How to Fix It section above don't fix the
problem, and you're the email admin for the recipient, try one or more of
the following:
The email address exists and is correct - Confirm that the recipient
address exists, is correct, and is accepting messages.
Synchronize your directories - If you have a hybrid environment and are
using directory synchronization make sure the recipient's email address is
synced correctly in both Office 365 and in your on-premises directory.
Errant forwarding rule - Check for forwarding rules that aren't behaving
as expected. Forwarding can be set up by an admin via mail flow rules or
mailbox forwarding address settings, or by the recipient via the Inbox
Rules feature.
Recipient has a valid license - Make sure the recipient has an Office 365
license assigned to them. The recipient's email admin can use the Office
365 admin center to assign a license (Users > Active Users > select the
recipient > Assigned License > Edit).
Mail flow settings and MX records are not correct - Misconfigured mail
flow or MX record settings can cause this error. Check your Office 365
mail flow settings to make sure your domain and any mail flow connectors
are set up correctly. Also, work with your domain registrar to make sure
the MX records for your domain are configured correctly.
For more information and additional tips to fix this issue, see [3]Fix
email delivery issues for error code 5.1.10 in Office 365.

Sent request to Plantsbrook School, Sutton Coldfield again, using a new contact address.
Dear Mrs Steele
In response to your Freedom of Information request on the 'Whatdotheyknow'
website on 12 May 2020, I can confirm the following information:
The number of parent complaints received by the school and Trust in the
last five years in the following format
1 Received and ignored – 0.
2 Received and dismissed - 0
3 Received by Governors and ignored - 0
4 Received by Trustees and ignored - 0
5 Received by Trustees and dismissed as dealt with without providing one
iota of data to back assertions - 0
Yours sincerely
Ms Tracy Campbell
Executive Headteacher
Dear Mrs B Hughes,
As we know, the above response has twisted the question.
In addition Plantsbrook school must be the only business on the planet not to have received any complaints.
I for certain know of three complaints at least that have been made by parents.
I also have two complaints that fall under the category of ignored by the school and governors.
In fact my current complaint was dismissed out of hand by the governors as not being a complaint.
I am happy to attach redacted (data protection of course) proof the above to this request should anyone else be searching for the same information.
I request the correct information. Unless of course it is deemed 'vexatious'?
Yours sincerely,
victoria steele
Dear Plantsbrook School, Sutton Coldfield,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Plantsbrook School, Sutton Coldfield's handling of my FOI request 'Complaints'.
[ GIVE DETAILS ABOUT YOUR COMPLAINT HERE ]
Presumably this will go to the 'neutral' business paid by the school.
As Ms Hughes seems to have a problem with comprehension I shall set it out in the simplest terms.
Please not nor IGNORE this response. I am legally entitled to this information and will get it one way or another.
1 How many complaints have the school received (including mine)?
2 How many complaints have been ignored by the school (including mine)?
3 How many complaints have been received by Governors (including mine)?
4 How many complaints have been ignored by Governors (including mine)?
4 How many complaints have been received by the Trustees (including mine)?
5 How many complaints have been ignored by the Trustees (including mine)?
I am dissatisfied by your response as per my previous response . Firstly the school think it is clever by providing What Do They Know with incorrect contact detail's then it seems it thinks being pedantic is really clever.
The school is taking advice from a very expensive FIREWALL who have deemed any complaint or request for information as 'Vexatious', 'Aggressive ' and apparently requesting the qualification details of a senior member of staff who has proved herself to be incompetent is to hold a 'grudge' and an excuse not to respond, which believe to be reasonable to any FOI's I make.
How professional.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...
