Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Glasgow Clyde College's handling of my FOI request 'Library Reception Desk/Office Furniture Information'.

Please issue a copy of your internal review request document for completion, as I have a number of concerns regarding your latest disclosure regarding information or lack of recorded information appertaining to the library reception/office furniture information request. This lack of recorded information in relation to this disclosure is rather disturbing, and I have concern that the principle's of good college governance in procurement have not been adhered too in this instance. To not record and hold very relevant information may constitute a serious lack of good governance by the college.

Dear Glasgow Clyde College,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Glasgow Clyde College's handling of my FOI request 'Library Reception Desk/Office Furniture Information'.

Q4 You stated that no recorded information was collated after the consultation with senior library staff members – I am dissatisfied with this response. Failure to record information from a serious consultation may be deemed as a failure of good governance.

Q9. Please provide ANY recorded information such as emails that provides evidence that discussions took place between staff and estates. This does not have to be a formal note, although not producing a formal note may be deemed as a failure of good governance.

Q8. No DSE assessment has been carried out. This is a failure of good governance, and requires to be reported to the HSE.

Q9. I am dissatisfied with your response relating to any complaints by staff regarding this desk. Please now provide any written record of any complaint whether formal or not. I did not stipulate whether any complaint was formal or informal – the term was generic.

Please note that under FOISA it is a criminal offence to attempt to conceal information held at the time of the request.
