Mandatory training costs
Dear Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust,
Can you please provide information regarding the following questions:
1. Do you outsource any of the mandatory training for clinical staff? Such as Online training regarding Infection control, consent, safeguarding adults and children, radicalisation and Equality and diversity.
2. If you outsource the training material in any way, what is the annual cost for this? If you require a specific time frame for this, 2018/2019 costing period would be preferred.
3. If you do not outsource, can you estimate the cost to the trust to design, maintain, monitor and accredit this training with Skills for Health and any other accreditation such as CPD? If you require a specific time frame for this, 2018/2019 costing period would be preferred.
4. Do currently outsource for any other training, either classroom based or online, that is not classed as standard mandatory training? Such as mental health in the work place, physical restraint training or anything else along these lines.
5. If so, can you provide the estimated annual cost for this? If you require a specific time frame for this, 2018/2019 costing period would be preferred.
6. If no, but you offer this training in-house, can you also supply us with the annual cost for this, and frequency of training. If you require a specific time frame for this, 2018/2019 costing period would be preferred.
Yours faithfully,
Daniel Jones

Dear Daniel,

I am writing regarding your request for information dated 15/10/2019. In order to identify if we hold the information you requested, we will need to seek some further clarification from you.
I would be grateful if you could please clarify:
(a) your definition for "mandatory training". Does this refer to the training classified as mandatory by the Trust under our Mandatory Training Policy? Or does this refer to the subjects covered by the Skills for Health ‘Core Skills Framework’?

Please provide me with a response by 06/11/2019. Once we have received the further clarification needed, we will be able to process your request further. However, please note that in the meantime your request will be placed on hold.

I write in relation to my emails dated 16/10/2019 and 06/11/2019. We asked that you provide us with clarification in order to identify the information you requested, as stipulated under section 1 (3) of the Freedom of Information Act.
1 - General right of access to information held by public authorities.
(3) Where a public authority—
(a) reasonably requires further information in order to identify and locate the information requested, and
(b) has informed the applicant of that requirement,
the authority is not obliged to comply with subsection (1) unless it is supplied with that further information.
Unfortunately, to date we have not received clarification from you. Without this additional information we are unable to process your request further, and as a result your request will now be closed.
