Dear St Hilda’s College, Oxford,

We are writing to make an open request for all the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

It would be very much appreciated if you could send your college guidelines on PREVENT, one of the four elements of CONTEST, the government’s counter-terrorism strategy.

We also request any risk assessments, safeguarding policies, IT policies or any other college policies that have been amended to comply with the PREVENT duty.

I would like the above information to be provided to me as an electronic copy.

If this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the Act, you are required to advise and assist requesters. If any of the information is already in the public domain, please can you direct me to it, with page references and URLs if necessary.

If the release of any of this information is prohibited on the grounds of breach of confidence, I ask that you supply me with copies of the confidentiality agreement and remind you that information should not be treated as confidential if such an agreement has not been signed.

I understand that you are required to respond to my request within the 20 working days after you receive this letter. I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Oxford Against Prevent

Dear Frank Gargent,

Thank you very much. As ‘Oxford Against Prevent’ is the name of our organisation, we believe the request to be valid. We should not have to provide any more of our personal details to you.

We look forward to your responding to the FOI request.

Yours sincerely,

Oxford Against Prevent
