Dear Sir
Further to your Freedom of Information Request regarding the cost of
agency spend in primary schools, please find attached information which
relates to payments made by the Local Authority only. Some Primary
Schools also have their own bank accounts, therefore to have an accurate
record of such costs you will need to contact the governing bodies of
the schools directly who are, as you may be aware, separate public
bodies for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the
Act). The second attachment provides you with a list of schools that
you will need to contact.
With regard to the spend with each Agency, we feel that this is exempt
information under Section 43 of the Act which deals with prejudice to
commercial interests. This is a qualified exemption and we have
therefore applied the public interest test. In making this decision we
have weighed such factors as the Council's desire to be open and
transparent in all its dealings against the need to ensure that it is
able to contract openly in the market.
Accordingly, insofar as this element of your request is concerned and in
accordance with Section 17 of the Act this e-mail acts as a Refusal
Notice to this part of your request.
As you may be aware you have a right of appeal against this decision. If
you wish to exercise this right please set out in writing your grounds
and send your appeal to the Council's Corporate Feedback Coordinator.
Her name is Mrs. Christine Macey and she may be reached at
[email address] or on 01443 424076.
Additionally you may, if you wish, find out more about the Act from the
Information Commissioner at http://www.ico.gov.uk/
Yours sincerely
Claire
