Thank you for your Freedom of Information request.
In order for a request made under this legislation to be valid, it must
contain the requester's name, as stated in Section
8(1)(b). A requester may be an individual, a company or an organisation
but a name is required. Failure to provide this
invalidates the request and prevents the requester from seeking recourse
from the Information Commissioner's Office
(ICO) should they need to do so.
Therefore, before we can process your request, we require enough of your
real name to give anyone reading that request
a reasonable indication of your identity. It is sufficient to provide any
variation of title or first name combined with your
surname. Alternatively, a combination of middle name and surname will also
be acceptable. However, a first name or
surname in isolation, or the use of just initials, will be insufficient.
Kind Regards,
Freedom of Information team

Dear Sophie Brown,
Freedom of Information Request (our reference FOI23300)
We refer to your Freedom of Information request dated 23/06/2032.
University’s Response
Further to Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the “Act”) we
confirm that the information requested is held by the University of
Bristol (the “University”).
Please refer to the attached document.
Please note that the University does not release exact counts of less than
five because these are personal data of third parties or, if linked with
other personal identifiers in the public domain, would be likely to become
personal data. This information has been withheld under section 40(2) of
the Act, on the grounds that disclosure would likely breach the data
protection principles enshrined in the Data Protection Act 2018.
Internal Review Procedure
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, then you have a
right under Section 50 of the Act to request an internal review.
All such requests must be sent to us within 40 days, and must clearly
state our reference number (at the top of this email) and your reason for
requesting an internal review.
We will aim to respond to your request for an internal review within 20
working days of receipt.
Your request for an internal review should be sent to
[University of Bristol request email], quoting your FOI reference number.
Alternatively, you could post it to:
General Counsel and Deputy University Secretary
Legal Services, Governance and Information Compliance - Office of the
University Secretary
University of Bristol
Beacon House
Queens Road
Bristol
BS8 1QU
Information Commissioners Office
Should you remain dissatisfied with the final outcome of the internal
review then you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner (the
“ICO”) for an independent review. The ICO is the Government’s Independent
Body responsible for overseeing the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the
Data Protection Act 2018 and The Environmental Information Regulations
2004.
Please note the ICO will only review cases that have exhausted the
University’s internal review procedure. All correspondence to the ICO must
quote the University’s reference number and your reasons for your appeal.
The ICO’s contact details are as follows:
The Information Commissioners Office
Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
Cheshire
SK9 5AF
