Dear Ms Kerrigan
Thank you for your recent enquiry.
From our preliminary assessment, it is clear that we will not be able to answer your request without further clarification.
The Council requires further information in order to identify and locate the information you have asked for.
In particular, it would be useful to know this request is for children with EHCs which the ‘school placement’ bit would suggest or does it relate to all children on the school’s SEN registers
Once you have clarified the information you require, I will action your request. If I do not receive clarification within three months, this question will be considered to have lapsed. (Under section 1(3) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a public authority need not comply with a request unless any further information reasonably required to locate the information is supplied).
Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.
If you would like to discuss this email, please contact me.
