Tenant suicide due to safeguarding failures: compensation

The request was partially successful.

Peoples Information Center

Dear Homes for Haringey,

I write in reference to the tenant who committed suicide in January 2016 after being served with an NTQ (page 17 of HfH's latest accounts filed at Companies House).

Has HfH paid any amount to the sister of the tenant as compensation / redress for HfH's role in her brother's death?

If yes, please provide the sum, or if not possible please provide the number of figures.

Are there any legal claims pending? (for example negligence claim by tenant's sister)

Yours faithfully,

Antony Steig

Dear Mr Steig

 

We have considered your request but are not able to confirm or deny
whether we hold the information you have requested. If we did hold the
information, we would not release it under the Freedom of Information Act
because you are asking for personal information about another person.

 

Providing that information to you would breach our obligations to that
person under the Data Protection Act. Because of that, this request is
exempt from the Freedom of Information Act Section 40(2).

 

This letter is a refusal notice as required by the Freedom of Information
Act.

 

If you have any further queries, or are unhappy with how we have dealt
with your request and wish to make a complaint, please contact the
Feedback and Information Governance Team as below. (Please note you should
do this within two months of receiving this response.)

You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s office, who may be
able to help you.  However they would normally expect the local authority
to have undertaken a complaint investigation or Internal Review of the
request before they will accept the referral.  You can contact the
Commissioner at:

Dear Homes for Haringey,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Homes for Haringey's handling of my FOI request 'Tenant suicide due to safeguarding failures: compensation'.

The grounds of the internal review are that the information should be released redacted where necessary. Whether or not compensation was granted would not reveal anyone's personal data or risk doing so.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/t...

Yours faithfully,
