Potentially aggressive people
Dear Ceredigion Council,
I have just heard a BBC news story regarding lists of
potentially aggressive people maintained by Councils for the protection of their staff.
I would be grateful if you would confirm whether Ceredigion Council compiles such a list or anything similar.
If the answer to that is "yes",
1. What the process is for including somebody on such a list
2. Whether a person appearing on the list is notified
3. Whether the police have access to such a list
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Falzon
Dear Ceredigion Council,
I am awaiting your response to my request regarding potentially aggressive people. This was not a complicated request, and I am aware that you should normally have replied, by law, by 10 September 2013.
I would be grateful for a response to this request.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Falzon
Dear Mr Falzon,
Find attached our internal guidance regarding ‘sensitive information’.
We’d consider whether to list potentially aggressive people through this
process.
If you have queries let me know.
Regards
Russell
Dear Russell,
Thanks for this. However, you did not say whether you maintain such a list.
I would like you to confirm whether or not you do.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Falzon

Dear Russell,
I have yet to receive a response to my basic question. Does the council keep a list of potentially aggressive people for internal use or doesn't it? Note that I am not asking whether I or anyone else is on it - simply whether the council has such a list.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Falzon
Hi Charlie,
Apologies. When I was liaising initially with our HoS team there were only 3 cases being considered at that time and we don’t keep a list as such

Hello,
I have received a reasonable amount of information about the same subject from my borough council (Bexley). The answers to questions were either vague, superficial or not answered at all. I hope you are more successful than I have been. The only way I can only 'hope' for a straight answer was to ask a direct question about being on one of their 'list's. It will be 40 days (unless I am lucky) before I receive a response.
Good luck.
