Dear Mr James,
 
Please see below the response to your enquiry under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) received on 18^th April 2020.
 
1. Who is/are the Team Manager/s of your Leaving Care Team/s?
2. Who is/are the Team Manager/s of you Looked After Children/Children in
Care Team/s?
3. Who is/are the Team Manager/s of your Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking
Children's Team?
4. Who is/are the Service Manager/s of your Leaving Care Service?
5. Who is/are the Service Manager/s of your Looked After Children Service?
 
For points 1-5, this information is exempt from disclosure under section
40(2) of the FOIA, because it constitutes personal data and disclosure
would breach the Data Protection Act (the DPA).
 
In this case, we consider that it would be unfair to staff below the level
of Head of Service and not in their reasonable expectations to have their
personal details disclosed in response to this FOIA enquiry, which is a
disclosure into the public realm.  We have considered if there is any
legitimate interest in disclosure, which would outweigh the individual’s
privacy rights in this case, but we do not consider there to be one.
 
6. Who is the Head of Service that covers Leaving Care and Looked After
Children?
7. Who is your Head of Corporate Parenting?
8. Who is Head of Commissioning for Children's Services?
9. Who is Head of Commissioning for Adult’s Services?
 
For points 6-9, I can confirm that we hold this information.  However,
this information is exempt from disclosure under section 21 of the FOIA as
it is considered reasonably accessible to you by other means.
 
You can locate the information at:
[1]https://www.york.gov.uk/ChildrenEducatio...
 
If you are dissatisfied with our response you have the right to ask for a
review of how your enquiry was handled and responded to. This can be done
by contacting us through [2][City of York Council request email] within 40 working days of
receiving your response, stating your reason(s) why you are dissatisfied.
If you remain dissatisfied after receiving the review response you can
contact the Information Commissioner, using the online form on the
