Dear Commission for Countering Extremism,

Do you hold any information on the following,

1. The number, if any, of applications made to your department regarding concerns of 'Gender Ideology' promotion, in schools, or other establishments, to children under the age of 18yrs?

2. Does your department have a LGBTQ+ support group, if yes, what are the names of the groups? The scope and purpose of the Group?

3. Has your department made any donation in the past 5 years to any outside LGBTQ+
groups ?
If yes, what are the names of the Groups? How much was donated to each group ?

For all data requested from 2019 onwards, you can disclose the data by year 2019/20 2021/2, 2022/3 and 2023/4 if this requires less work.

Time limit: You should regard the 20 working day limit for answering FOIs as a ‘long stop’, in other words the latest possible date on which you may issue a response (ICO guidance on time limits in FOIA Section 10).

Excessive costs: If this request needs refining to make it possible for you to comply without incurring excessive costs (FOIA Section 12), consider ways in which you can help me to refine my request so you can answer without exceeding the appropriate limit. Please let me know as soon as possible, so you will be able to make the disclosures promptly, and within the Section 10 time limit.

Redactions:
Please ensure that where you deem it necessary under s.40 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to redact personal data or any other information, please redact the minimum necessary (eg the individual’s name not the organisation in email addresses) and send me the rest of the material, explaining the legal grounds for each redaction.

Accessibility
Please provide the information here on What Do They Know.
If the information is already published, please provide the link to the document and advise the relevant page number or agenda item.

Yours faithfully,

Cathy Murphy
