Dear Ms Walsh
Freedom of Information Act 2000
Your request for information has been considered by Warwickshire County Council
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
I can confirm that the information you have requested is held by Warwickshire County
Council. However, please be advised we are unable to provide all of the information
you have requested.
This is because we consider that some of the information is exempt from disclosure
under Section 40 (Personal Information) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
In addition, some of the information is published on the Warwickshire County Council
website, and is therefore exempt from disclosure under Section 21 (Information
reasonably accessible to the applicant by other means) of the Freedom of Information
Act 2000.
Please see below for further details and explanation.
You asked us:
I would like to request the structure charts for children's & adults social care
please.
I would like the following, Names, email addresses, contact numbers and job title
of all Deputy Team Managers, Team Managers & Service Managers that manage
Children & Adults Statutory Social Care Services within the Local Authority
please.
Yours faithfully.
Children's Services.
Please follow the link below to the current Children's Services document on the
Warwickshire County Council website:
https://apps.warwickshire.gov.uk/api/documents/WCCC-640-1833
Please note: We would consider that this information is exempt under Section 21(1)
(Information reasonably accessible to the applicant by other means) of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.
Although these documents are held by Warwickshire County Council, under Section 21
of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 Public Authorities are not required to provide
information in response to a request if it is already reasonably accessible.
Please follow the relevant link above, which will take you directly to the published copy
of the document. The information in this document will answer the part of your request
relevant to Children's Services.
Please treat this letter as a refusal notice under Section 17 of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000, for the document outlined above.

Please note: Warwickshire County Council would usually provide staff information
down to Tier 3 level (Service Manager). This is because the more senior the member of
staff, the less likely this is to be unfair processing of personal data under the Data
Protection Act 2018.
However, the Council is unwilling to disclose the details of more junior members of staff,
which is likely to constitute unfair processing of personal data under the Data Protection
Act 2018.
Therefore, the information you have requested about individual Warwickshire County
Council officers below Tier 3 level is exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000. The information is personal data as defined by the
Data Protection Act 2018.
As it is information about someone else we are unable to give this to you, as release of
this information would constitute a breach of the Data Protection Act 2018. The first
condition is that the disclosure of the information to a member of the public otherwise
than under this Act:
(a) would contravene any of the data protection principles, or;
(b) would do so if the exemptions in section 24(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018
(manual unstructured data held by public authorities) were disregarded.
The second condition is that the disclosure of the information to a member of the public
otherwise than under this Act would contravene Article 21 of the General Data
Protection Regulation (general processing: right to object to processing).
Therefore, please treat this letter as a refusal notice in accordance with section 17 of
the Freedom of Information Act 2000, in respect of the information about Warwickshire
County Council staff below Tier 3 level required to answer your request.
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an
internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within 40 days of the date
of receipt of the response to your original letter and should be addressed to:

Shire Hall
Warwick
CV34 4RL
xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to
apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information
Commissioner can be contacted at:
