Dear Ms Kerrigan,

Freedom of Information Act 2000 - Request for Information

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

Please find the response to your request attached.

Please note that the name of the school has not been provided in all cases. Where the category of need is unique to 1 individual this could potentially lead to the identification of the individual concerned. This would be unfair to the person concerned and the release of such information would be in breach of the Data Protection principles and is therefore exempt by virtue of section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act.

If you are not satisfied with the way the authority has handled your request, you may ask for an internal review. Please contact me either on the number below or in writing: Senior Information Governance Officer, Corporate Information Governance Team, County Hall, Wakefield, West Yorkshire WF1 2QW (marked Private & Confidential) or e-mail on [Wakefield City Council request email] and I will arrange an internal review of your case.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further queries regarding this matter.

Yours sincerely

Principal Information Governance Officer,
Corporate Information Governance Team, City Solicitor’s Office.
Wakefield MDC, County Hall, Bond Street, Wakefield. WF1 2QW
