Dear Usil,

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 enclosed.

Please send me the NAME and CONTACT DETAILS for the Head of education and any education improvement officers you may have within the council structure.

Marium Haque is the Service Director for Education and Inclusion and can be contacted at: [email address]
David Barter is the Head of School Strategy and Performance and reports directly to Marium Haque, David can be contacted at: [email address]
Within School Strategy and Performance there is a Lead School Improvement Advisor (reporting to David Barter) with 4 School Improvement Advisors reporting directly to them.

After careful consideration we have decided not to disclose the names of the Lead School Improvement Advisor and the School Improvement Advisors, we consider this to be personal information and as such exempt information under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Section 40(2) of FOIA states that the personal data of a third party is exempt from disclosure if to do so would contravene any of the data protection principles. The first principle of the Data Protection Act 1998 states that personal data shall be processed fairly and lawfully. Therefore we consider that to disclose this information would be a breach of the first principle of the Data Protection Act.

If you are unhappy with the way the authority has handled your request, you may ask for an internal review. Please contact Senior Information Governance Officer in writing: Corporate Information Governance Team, County Hall, Wakefield. WF1 2QW (marked Private & Confidential) or e-mail [Wakefield City Council request email] who will arrange an internal review of your case.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:

Information Commissioner’s Office
Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
Cheshire
SK9 5AF.

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

Yours sincerely
