The request was successful.

Dear Castle Point Borough Council,

I would like to request the following data under the Freedom of Information Act 2000:

1. How many Fixed Penalty Notices has your council handed out between September 2018 – July 2019 to parents for the following unauthorised school absences:
a. Persistent lateness (arriving after the register has been taken)
b. Unauthorised leave in term time (e.g. being taken out of school for holiday)
c. Delayed return from authorised leave
d. General unauthorised absence/truancy (including parentally condoned absence)
2. How many FPNs have not been paid within the 21 day allocated time frame?
3. How many FPNs have not been paid within the 28 day allocated time frame, and subsequently gone to court?
4. How much revenue has been collected from FPNs between September 2018 - July 2019?
5. For all of the above information, could you please provide a comparison for questions 1-4 for the previous school year (2017-2018)?

Yours faithfully,

Naomi Aharony

Good Morning,

Many thanks for your enquiry.

Castle Point Borough Council is not responsible for the care of children within its district and we therefore do not hold any information on this matter. This comes under the responsibility of Essex County Council.

If you still require the information I would suggest you forward your application to them direct, I have added their details below. If you are unable to do this then please let me know and we will forward the request on your behalf.
