Good Morning,
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request.
In order for a request made under this legislation to be valid, it must
contain the requester's name, as stated in Section
8(1)(b). A requester may be an individual, a company or an organisation
but a name is required. Failure to provide this
invalidates the request and prevents the requester from seeking recourse
from the Information Commissioner's Office
(ICO) should they need to do so.
Therefore, before we can process your request, we require enough of your
real name to give anyone reading that request
a reasonable indication of your identity. It is sufficient to provide any
variation of title or first name combined with your
surname. Alternatively, a combination of middle name and surname will also
be acceptable. However, a first name or
surname in isolation, or the use of just initials, will be insufficient.
Kind Regards,
FOI Team

University’s Response
Further to Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the “Act”) we
confirm that the information requested is held by the University of
Bristol (the “University”).
Internal Review Procedure
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, then you have a
right under Section 50 of the Act to request an internal review. All such
requests must be sent to us within 40 days, and must clearly state our
reference number (at the top of this email) and your reason for requesting
an internal review. We will aim to respond to your request for an
internal review within 20 working days of receipt.

Should you remain dissatisfied with the final outcome of the internal
review then you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner (the

Body responsible for overseeing the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the
Data Protection Act 2018 and The Environmental Information Regulations
2004.
Please note the ICO will only review cases that have exhausted the
University’s internal review procedure. All correspondence to the ICO must
quote the University’s reference number and your reasons for your appeal.
The ICO’s contact details are as follows:
The Information Commissioners Office
