I wish to make an FOI request, as set out under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Please can your organisation provide the following information:
a) The number of roles in your association (expressed in numbers of FTE), that are mainly or exclusively focussed on issues of equality, diversity, or inclusivity. For example, this could include (amongst other guises) “EDI officers” or “diversity and inclusion project managers” but would not include general HR managers.
b) Either a) the pay band of each of these roles, or b) the combined total salaries for these roles. Whichever measure is more in accordance with your data preferences.
c) In the past 12 months the number of staff days across your organisation which have been committed to attending equality training programmes, whether internally run or with external consultants. (staff days = duration of the training programme multiplied by the number of staff in attendance for the course). If unable to provide please mark as N/A in your return.
Please can this information be returned to me within 20 working days.
If your organisation does not hold information in relation to any of the letters please file as N/A and provide the rest of the information that you do hold.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Lightfoot
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST:000048
We refer to your recent request for information. We have dealt with your
request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. For ease of
reference, we have copied your request below:
The number of roles in your association (expressed in numbers of FTE),
that are mainly or exclusively focussed on issues of equality, diversity,
or inclusivity. For example, this could include (amongst other guises)
“EDI officers” or “diversity and inclusion project managers” but would not
include general HR managers.
0
Either a) the pay band of each of these roles, or b) the combined total
salaries for these roles. Whichever measure is more in accordance with
your data preferences.
In the past 12 months the number of staff days across your organisation
which have been committed to attending equality training programmes,
whether internally run or with external consultants. (staff days =
duration of the training programme multiplied by the number of staff in
attendance for the course). If unable to provide please mark as N/A in
your return
As we do not have any equality, diversity or inclusivity roles in the
organisation we consider our response to your question is not applicable.
We hope this is of assistance to you. If you are dissatisfied with our
response, you are entitled to request a review. A request for review must
be made in writing to the Information Governance Department, NHS Forth
Valley, Carseview House, Castle Business Park, Stirling, FK9 4SW
or [1][email address], no later than forty working days
from receipt of the response. Your request must be in permanent form and
should state:
· That you are asking for a review of this decision
and
· Why you are unhappy with the response you have
received.
If you remain dissatisfied following our review, you then have the right
to ask for advice, assistance or a formal appeal to the Scottish
Information Commissioner, Kinburn Castle, Doubledykes Road, St Andrews,
Fife, KY16 9DS or [2]www.itspublicknowledge.info/Appeal
Please feel free to contact us should you require any further advice or
assistance.
