FOI, DPA and Information Governance

The request was successful.

Dear Lancashire County Council,

Please could you answer the following under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

• How many staff do you have with a primary/sole role of dealing with FOIs/SARs and what grade they are?
• How many staff do you have working in 'information governance', inclusive of those working on FOIs/SARs?
• Where does information governance sit in your organisation? A structure chart would suffice.
• Who is your SIRO and your DPO? Whilst I appreciate this is personal data, such senior roles are unlikely to warrant application of the exemption at section 40(2) of the Act.
• How many FOI requests did you receive in 2016, 2017 and 2018 to date?
• How many subject access requests did you receive in 2016, 2017 and 2018 to date?
• Which, if any, case management system do you use for recording FOIs and SARs?

Yours faithfully,

Lesley Chimaca
