Confidentiality Documents
Dear Sir or Madam,
Can you please provide all internal documents outlining your confidentiality policies in relation to service users and complainants?
Can you please provide all internal documents outlining your Human Right's policies in relation to service users and complainants?
Can you please provide all internal documents outlining your privacy policies in relation to service users and complainants?
If you require any clarification please feel free to ask.
Yours faithfully,
Tony Wise
Dear Mr Wise,
I would be grateful if you could please clarify what you mean by
'service users'. Do you mean IPCC "staff members"?
Please note that I am writing under section 1(3) of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000:
1. General right of access to information held by public authorities
(3) Where a public authority-
(a) reasonably requires further information in order to identify and
locate the information requested, and
(b) has informed the applicant of that requirement,
the authority is not obliged to comply with subsection (1) unless it is
supplied with that further information.
Your response to this e-mail will enable me to locate the specific
information you require. I will not be able to proceed with your request
until I receive further clarification from you.
Yours sincerely,
Vangie

Dear Vangie Parker,
By service users I mean complainants and appellants etc as users of your services which is quite obvious to any reasonable person. If however your members of staff are also service users then please apply this request to those particular users of your services. And, to further assist, I refer to any documents relevant to your members of staff and their obligations to service users such as confidentiality policies etc, etc that have to be signed upon employment or as a condition of service/employment. It is clear that the IPCC must have some kind of confidentiality policies as regards, at least, complainants because if a complaint is directly sent to the IPCC the IPCC seeks consent to pass the complaint to the relevant police force.
If you require any more information please feel free to ask.
Yours sincerely,
Tony Wise
