Dear Jason Lewis,

Dear Mr Lewis,
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request on the 26th April.
Your request was for a copy of the Inspector's Training Manual (ITM).
Please see attached below a copy of the ITM, for your information. Due to
the limitations on file sizes the ITM is split into 3 separate parts.
These are labelled as parts 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
Please note that The ITM is subject to regular updates, and the Manual
does not constitute Government policy or guidance and does not seek to
interpret Government policy. In the event that there appears to be a
discrepancy between the Manual and national policy / guidance, any
national policy and guidance will be conclusive.
As this document is not written for an external audience, many of the
hyperlinks point to our internal systems at the Inspectorate (including
links from one chapter to another), and therefore will not be accessible
to those outside.
If you are unhappy with the outcome of your request for information, or
the way we handled your request, then you can ask for an internal
review. Details of our review procedures and contact details for the
Information Commissioner’s Office are set out in the attached leaflet.
Kind regards,
Matthew Dunkley-Roberts

faced in receiving the ITM. Please see attached a copy of the ITM, for
your information. Due to the limitations on file sizes with email
attachments in Outlook, I will be sending this to you in 3 parts. Part 1
is attached to this email, and Part 2 and 3 will follow in separate
