Dear Ms Aharony
We have liaised with the Childrens Court Guardian Agency (CCGA) regarding
this matter and they are concerned that given the small size of the
organisation (as referenced within the response), even in an 'anonymous'
format, the details requested below could lead to the direct / indirect
identification of specific staff members.
As such, they have agreed that the information you have requested would be
in contravention of Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act as it
is believed that further disclosure would breach data protection
principles:
