Just wondering if anyone has done any FOIs re these guidelines to establish who was consulted, ask to see the equality impact assessments that will have been done etc??

There are a couple of FOIs here.

This one about the Scottish guidance has had a reply.

They're great FOIs. Well done whoever sent them
Wonder whether the dog will have eaten all the records? Unless that's just a peculiarity of the Welsh government!

@truthisarevolutionaryact I will start a chat or Aibu thread tomorrow. Good point.

Let us know if you do!

Been rushed off my feet. Will try and do one later.

Just an update as I wrote to my MP using the template suggested upthread as a basis. I have received a response from him to say thank you for taking the time to write and he has forwarded my letter along with one he has written to Gavin Williamson. He will contact me once he has received a response. I’m taking that as a positive start as I haven’t had a standard brush off. Traditional safe conservative seat here.
