Dear Sir/Madam,

With reference to the above mentioned FOI request regarding home educated
children.

Unfortunately, the Force does not collect any data to indicate that
persons involved in Anti social Behaviour or Crimes committed are educated
at home and are therefore unable to provide you with any data.

Police forces in the United Kingdom are routinely required to provide
statistics and information to government bodies and the recording criteria
is set nationally. However, the systems used for recording these figures
are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the data
and information. It should be noted that for these reasons this force's
response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with
any other response you may receive.

Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and
complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been
extracted from large disparate administrative data systems generated by
the courts and police forces. The detail collected to respond specifically
to your request is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale
recording system. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data
collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into
account when those data are used.

The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of
data to your request but you should be aware that the collation of figures
for ad hoc requests may have limitations and this should be taken into
account when those data are used.

If you decide to write an article / use the enclosed data we would ask you
to take into consideration the factors highlighted in this document so as
to not mislead members of the public or official bodies or misrepresent
the relevance of the whole or any part of this disclosed material.

APPEALS PROCEDURE

Should you be dissatisfied with the outcome of your information request,
you do have the right of complaint under section 17(7) of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. If you wish to appeal this decision, please inform
me in writing. Your application and the decision will be reviewed by a
Senior Decision Maker who was not involved in the original decision.

This decision maker will review your case and they will either, uphold,
amend or overrule my decision. Should this not resolve the matter to your
satisfaction, you will then have the right to appeal to the Information
Commissioner, who regulates compliance with the Freedom of Information Act
2000.

Staffordshire Police in complying with their statutory duty under sections
1 and 11 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to release the enclosed
information will not breach the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
