Dear Ms Elvin,

Re: Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
Thank you for your request for information, received by Southampton Solent
University on 20 February 2014.

Your request will be considered and you will receive the information
requested within the statutory timescale of 20 working days, as defined by
the Freedom of Information Act 2000, subject to the information not being
exempt.  

The Act defines a number of exemptions that may prevent release of the
information you have requested.  Should this prove to be the case after
your request is assessed, you will be informed of this, including your
right to appeal.

In some circumstances a fee may be payable and if that is the case, a fees
notice will be issued to you which you will be required to pay before we
proceed with your request.

Yours sincerely

Justin Dalton
Planning and Compliance Officer

Dear Ms Elvin,

Re: Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Thank you for your request for information received by Southampton Solent
University on 20 February 2014. Please find the University’s response
below.

I would like to know the number of academics who have taken maternity
leave/paternity leave within the last 5 years (not including 2014).

I would like this information separated by

While the University has attempted to accommodate your request it is
unable to provide data for 2009-10 (Female/Male) and 2010-11 (Male), nor
break down the above figures any further, under section 40(2) of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000, Data Protection. The University has
applied this exemption as the figures for each of the above categories is
less than five. The University feels that the release of this information
could lead to the identification of the individual/s involved, which would
contravene their rights under the Data Protection Act 1998.  

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, please contact
the University’s Clerk of Governors, Southampton Solent University, East
Park Terrace, Southampton SO14 0YN, e-mail:
[Solent University request email] for an internal review.  Please note that
this does not affect your right to appeal to the Information
Commissioner’s Office ([1]www.ico.gov.uk) should you remain dissatisfied
with the University’s response.

Yours sincerely

Justin Dalton
