Dear Ms Blackburn,
Freedom of Information Request Reference FOI-1532956
Thank you for your request dated 18 September to the Department of Health and Social
Care (DHSC), a copy of which can be found in the accompanying annex.
DHSC holds information relevant to your request. However, it is being withheld under
section 40(2) of the FOIA, which provides for the protection of personal information.
Section 40 prohibits a public body from disclosing personally identifiable information, as
doing so would contravene data protection principles.
Please note that the Department for Education (DfE) publishes details of each family hub
site in England. In data published on 19 February, there are currently around 400 family
hub sites. DfE will update this list as local authorities set up more family hubs.
Please see:
List of family hub sites - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). If you are not satisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to appeal by
asking for an internal review.
This should be sent to
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx.xx or to the address at the top of
this letter and be submitted within two months of the date of this letter. Please remember
to quote the reference number above in any future communication.
If you are not content with the outcome of your internal review, you may complain directly
to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Generally, the ICO cannot make a
decision unless you have already appealed our original response and received our internal
review decision.
You should raise your concerns with the ICO within three months of your last meaningful
contact with us.
Guidance on contacting the ICO can be found at
https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us and
information about making a complaint can be found a
