Treatment of Freedom of Information Requests - Subjects - Outcomes - Time to Respond
Dear Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea,
For the 100 most recent FOI requests which the council considers closed, be that because the request was rejected, met, or declared "not held", please provide the following information:
(1) The date the request was received by the council.
(2) The summary subject of the request - in less than 20 words
(3) The date the request was acknowledged.
(4) The date the initial final response was given
(5) The status of this response, ie met, not held, rejected
(6) Whether an Internal Review was requested, and if so the date on which this was completed and the outcome status
(7) Whether the FOI Request to the council's knowledge was referred to the ICO.
(8) Whether the ICO issued any guidance or instruction to the council following this referral.
(9) The final outcome after the ICO referral.
It is understood that a case may be referred to the ICO after the council regards it a closed, and so this list request may not be final and definitive, but at any given time, a FOI Request must be either open or closed as far as the council, is considered.
This FOI Request is asking about the situation when it is processed, and a snapshot should be taken, with the date of this recorded in the reply.
As most of this information must already be held electronically for administrative reasons by the council, it should not be onerous to provide it.
Please provide this electronically, preferably in an XLS spreadsheet.
Yours faithfully,
Marlon Campbell
