Dear Freedom of Information Requests,
Hi, you declined the original request citing that disclosure of SCPs could identify individuals so I removed this part of the request as you suggested.

Dear Mr Dillon
Thank you for your revised Freedom of Information request dated 8th September 2023.
Request:
" Please provide the following information regarding pay and grading for social work staff in Childrens Services within your Local Authority:
Pay grade, numbers of staff and any enhancement available at each pay grade:
Newley Qualified Social Worker
Social Worker
Senior Social Worker
Advanced Practitioner
Team Manager
Please provide the information using table headings below:

Response:
Please see attached City of Doncaster Council's response.
The information in relation to the Grade 12 post is exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The information requested is third party personal data (i.e. personal data about someone other than you). Section 40 (2) provides that information which is third party personal data is exempt from disclosure if one of three conditions is satisfied. In this case the following condition applies:
Disclosure would contravene one of the data protection principles
The information requested relates to individuals. Part 1 (3) (2) of the Data Protection Act 2018 defines personal data as any information relating to an identified or identifiable living individual.
This information has not been provided in this case as City of Council believes that the release of such low numbers to responses could specifically lead to the identification of an individual who otherwise would not expect their personal information to be released into the public domain
I hope that this information is useful to you.
City of Doncaster Council estimates that it has cost £42.50 to respond to this request for information.

If you are not happy with this reply you can ask us to review our response. To do this write to us within 40 working days of receiving your response at the address below or email [email address]
