Dear Jenna,
Thank you for your freedom of information request received by this
office on 7th August 2020. Please be aware that all information requests
place some degree of demand on the University's resources in terms of
costs and staff time and that currently UWTSD may need to prioritise
resources to other areas, or adapt its usual approach to information
governance work, in order to meet the unprecedented challenges we are all
facing during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Therefore, we need to advise you that you may experience a delay in
receiving a response to information rights requests during the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic.

Thank you for your understanding.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Osborne BSocSc(Hons) LLM, Solicitor
