Review into DWP conducted by the EHRC
Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
Para. 45 of this DWP response to SSAC states that a review into DWP was conducted by the Equality and Human Rights Commission: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio...
I have requested a copy of this review from EHRC but they appear to be unsure what DWP are referring to: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/r...
Please provide a copy (redacted if appropriate) of the full review that was sent to DWP by EHRC.
Yours faithfully,
Owen Stevens

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
Please amend this request. Clearly (a) the EHRC review was communicated to DWP in some way and (b) was documented in such a way as to allow DWP to include a reference to the review in the report I cited in my request.
Please provide documentation regarding either (a) the communication of the EHRC review to DWP and (b) DWP's record of the substance of the EHRC review e.g. minutes of a meeting.

Complaint submitted to ICO regarding the substance of the DWP response
Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Department for Work and Pensions's handling of my FOI request 'Review into DWP conducted by the EHRC'.
I complained to the ICO but they have responded to point out that DWP's response of 7/12/22 was incorrectly framed as an internal review response when, in fact, it was an initial response.
I disagree with the response of 7/7/22. DWP appear to have acknowledged that a review was carried out in the initial response dated 30/09/2022, the latest response is inconsistent with the response of 30/09/22. The response is also inconsistent with the DWP response to the SSAC report, which was presumably based on information provided to SSAC by DWP officials.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/r...
Yours faithfully,
Owen Stevens
