Dear Elaine

I am writing in respect of your recent enquiry for information held by the
Authority under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000:

Re the serious case review report published 27/07/10 which covered the
death of Khyra Ishaq and was carried out using the services of the NSPCC

"John Radford NSPCC (independent chair and report author)"
.
1,Can you give details of monies paid by Birmingham to the NSPCC and
it's agents in respect of the review

Please find herewith the following:

Unfortunately Birmingham City Council does not hold such data. The
commissioning of the NSPCC was undertaken by Birmingham Safeguarding
Children Board. You are required to contact the Birmingham Safeguarding
Children Board directly on www.lscbbirmingham.org.uk

Whilst we have undertaken a thorough search of the information held by
Birmingham City Council, it may be that, due to the size and amount of
information held by Birmingham City Council, some information may have
been inadvertently missed.

If you have any information which may assist us in determining or locating
any missed information, we would be grateful if you would contact us with
details of this information, quoting the FOI reference number so that we
can conduct a further search.

If you are not satisfied with the response you may ask for an internal
review. If subsequently you are not satisfied with the Council***s
decision you may apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision.
Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the
complaints procedure provided by the Council. The Information Commissioner
can be contacted at the following address:
