When would an allegation of sexual assault by a registered healthcare professional be made known to their registering body?

The request was successful.

Dear Police Service of Northern Ireland,

Please answer the following question in accordance with freedom of information guidelines.

In the event police receive a complaint of sexual assault by a registered healthcare professional who, when interviewed, denies the allegations, is there a process or protocol which would determine when during the investigative process & prosecution (if applicable) the body providing the professional registration should be notified of the allegations against the registrant?

Yours faithfully,

Paul Hardy.

Police Service of Northern Ireland

Dear Mr. Hardy,

FREEDOM of INFORMATION ACT 2000

I write in connection with your request for information dated 3rd January
2018 which was received by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI)
on 3rd January 2018.  I note you seek access to the following information:

Notification To Healthcare Professional Body Of Offence Being
Investigated 

This request will be dealt with under the terms of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. A response should be sent to you within 20 working
days, no later than 1st February 2018. I would like to advise you that
PSNI are currently experiencing a delay in the processing of requests and
we aim to respond to your request as soon as possible. The Freedom of
Information team will advise you in writing if there are any delays in
responding to your request and will keep you advised of progress.

If your request is unclear and clarification is required the 20 day
legislative time limit dictated by the Freedom of Information Act 2000
will be stopped until we receive clarification of your request. The ICO
guidance at paragraph 40 of the link below sets out that the clock begins
anew the day after the clarification is received. It states

“If the requester subsequently provides enough detail to enable the
authority to identify and locate the information, then the authority must
respond to the clarified request within a new 20 working day time limit
with the ‘clock’ starting the day after it receives the required
clarification. “

In the event where the cost of complying with the request would exceed the
“appropriate level”, which is fixed at £450, as stated in the Freedom of
Information Regulations 2004, it is the policy of the PSNI to close the
request. You will however be notified of this decision and given an
opportunity to refine and resubmit the request.

If your request requires either full or partial transference to another
public authority in order to answer your query, again, you will be
notified.

If you have any queries regarding your request please write or contact the
Freedom of Information Team on 028 9070 0164. Please remember to quote the
reference number listed above in any future communications with the
Freedom of Information Team.

If you are dissatisfied in any way with the handling of your request, you
have the right to request a review. You should do this as soon as
possible, or in any case within two months of the date of issue of this
letter. In the event that you require a review to be undertaken, you can
do so by writing to the Head of Freedom of Information, PSNI Headquarters,
65 Knock Road, Belfast, BT5 6LE or by emailing [email address]. 

If following an internal review, carried out by an independent decision
maker, you were to remain dissatisfied in any way with the handling of the
request you may make a complaint, under Section 50 of the Freedom of
Information Act, to the Information Commissioner’s Office and ask that
they investigate whether the PSNI has complied with the terms of the
Freedom of Information Act.  You can write to the Information Commissioner
at Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. In most circumstances the Information
Commissioner will not investigate a complaint unless an internal review
procedure has been carried out, however the Commissioner has the option to
investigate the matter at his discretion.

Yours sincerely,

FOI Decision Maker
