Letter by email
Dear [redacted]
I write in response to an email received from you to our office on 27 April 2023 in which you ask for all correspondence/notes to/from or relating to Cotham School in relation to their use of CCTV from February 2022 to present. Your request has been handled as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
In answer to your request, please see copies of all relevant documents held by this office, which are annexed to this letter. Please note that, where redactions have been made, they are made under section 40(2) relating to personal information. It is the policy of the Home Office to withhold the names of officials below the level of Senior Civil Servant and, as an arms-length body of the Home Office, OBSCC also follows this policy. I can confirm that the redactions relate to names and email addresses that would confirm the identity of the individual, or where additional opensource research could provide the identity of the individual (for example, where a person’s position or role is disclosed). If you are dissatisfied with this response, you may request an independent internal review of our handling of your request by submitting a complaint within two months to the address below, quoting reference BSCC-FOI-0923-HD. If you ask for an internal review, it would be helpful if you could say why you are dissatisfied with the response.
[redacted]
As part of any internal review, our handling of your information request will be reassessed by staff who were not involved in providing you with this response. If you remain dissatisfied after this internal review, you would have a right of complaint to the Information Commissioner as established by section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act.
Yours sincerely, Fraser Sampson
Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner Email: enquiries@obscc.org.uk
