Dear Scottish Natural Heritage,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Scottish Natural Heritage's handling of my FOI request 'SNH Report into Viewing Pornography at NESBReC'.

I believe you must be in error as I have already been told by SNH that a full and thorough investigation would have to take place (obviously I assume it did) - here's a quote from a letter I received from Stuart Lockhart, Grant Officer on 13th May

"Each of these elements requires a full and through investigation before we respond"

As you have responded it would mean that this "full and thorough investigation" did take place. Also, Gillian MacDonald, Funding Manager has responded that my complaint was handled at stage two. From your own documentation a stage two complaint is classed as

"Stage two - investigation"

I'd appreciate if you could review this FoI request and perhaps you could explain why I have been given such conflicting information.

Many thanks

Iain

The following is an email sent to me. Seems that it's okay to view dirty pictures in Infrastructure Services then...

Hello Iain

Just to say, I spoke to xxxxx xxxxxxx about the issue you raised with me and referred specifically to the Council policies. As you indicated before, xxxxx gave assurances that this would not be happening again.

Thanks for your help on this.

here's another snippet requesting that I remove evidence of wrongdoing -

... go through the network drives to remove anything which may cause offence. Is this easy to do ? Is there still a trail ?

Thanks

Dear Iain,

I would suggest this matter is taking up with the internal HR team at NESBReC for follow-up. No offending images should be deleted by anyone but the IT department and only at the permission of the HR Director.

It's a very poor and unfortunate response you have received in relation to this matter.

Regards,

N E Whit
