Who do I send this to

[sweetteamum]

I need to put in a freedom of information request but wondering where I send it to?

Also do I just put my questions in a bullet point format?

How long do they have to respond?

The blurb is here
www.gov.uk/make-a-freedom-of-information-request/the-freedom-of-information-act

They have 20 working days torespond

They can object if it is sensitive information or if it is too much of a burden, so bullet points are a good idea.

I recall something about 18 pages being the rule of thumb.

Good luck

I did a subject access request on my council! They were supposed to respomd within 40 days but it was over 100 before they actually sent all the info I had asked for!! I thought they were being obstructive at one point but actually I dont think they had any clue what I was asking for. I told them which office to go to in the end!!

Hopeless!! Hope you get a faster result sweet

Thank you both. And for the link. I'll have a look shortly.

I really hope it doesn't take that long as the info I receive back partly depends on me accepting a place or not at a particular school.

[sweetteamum]

Thank you. No, I'm wanting to check what they've told me about the school staff (re training on certain conditions). That's definitely foi isn't it?

[sweetteamum]

Thank you.

That site is great. I've been on it for ages

Thank you for that great response. I'll put the FOI in first, then take it from there
