Dear Paul
I refer to your recent FOI request. Our response to Q1 is contained
within the attached Excel spreadsheet. The response for question two is
nil, as the Council did not receive any funding from central government
under the Ukraine Family Scheme between 1 April 2022 – 31 March 2023.
I trust this response meets your request. However, if you are
dissatisfied with the way in which the Council has dealt with your request
for information then you may ask the authority to review its actions and
decisions in relation to your request by submitting a formal appeal. The
process for lodging appeals is set out in the attached leaflet.
Kind regards,
