Dear Rochdale Safeguarding Children Board,

I am writing to respectfully make a request in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000. My request is as follows:-

1) Please, can you provide a list of all employee roles who are employed by your authority and are subject to the provisions as set out in the Official Secrets Acts 1911-1989?

This can be provided in any format, however, a spreadsheet detailing each role and a mark as to whether the role requires the role holder to sign a declaration as to their recognition of being bound thus required to comply with the Act(s).

2) Please provide a disclosure of the format used by your authority which requires the signature of any role holder who is subject to provisions as set out in the Official Secrets Acts 1911-1989 such as an "Official Secrets Acts & Confidentiality Declaration"

If I am able to provide any further information in order to assist your search for information in order to successfully respond to this request, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Requestor

Thank you for your request for information received on 20 November 2019
which was made under the Freedom of Information Act.

The obligations of the FOI Act 2000 are limited to institutions that are
“public authorities” for the purposes of the Act.

Rochdale Borough Safeguarding Board is not listed in schedule 1 of the
FOIA as being a public authority for the purposes of the FOIA and has not
been designated by the Secretary of State as an institution which is
caught by the FOIA 2000.

We are therefore not obliged to respond to requests for information under
the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Regards

RBSB Admin
