Dear Helen Carver 

Freedom of Information Act 2000 / Environmental Information Regulations
2004 Information request

 

We have now considered your information request as set out below. 

 

You asked:

 

Please can you send me the names and ORG Chart of the senior and middle
management within the education department.

 

Our response:

 

Please see attached spreadsheet. 

 

Please note that the name of the Assistant Director or Head of Service has
been given, as council workers below this level are not routinely
disclosed in response to information requests because we consider that
they are entitled to expect greater privacy than more senior staff.  The
names of less senior staff are exempt under section 40(2) of the Freedom
of Information Act, which applies to personal data when disclosure would
be contrary to any of the Data Protection Principles.  In this case, we
believe that disclosure of the names and contact details of less senior
staff level would be contrary to first Principle.  This is because the
first Principle concerns fairness and is contravened when disclosure would
be contrary the legitimate expectations of the members of staff involved.

 

If you have any queries or concerns about this please contact me.

 

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request please contact
Graham Owen, the Head of Information Governance at Merton Council, Civic
Centre, Morden, SM4 5DX or e-mail [1][Merton Borough Council request email]
