FOI/372912

Thank you for your email, received on 5th February 2025, in which you requested information from the office of the Pubs Code Adjudicator (PCA) under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 entitles you to:

• know whether the information you have requested is held by the PCA; and • be provided with that information, subject to any exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which may apply.

Your request (in bold) followed by the PCA’s response is below: I would like to request the following information regarding your organisation’s apprenticeship offerings:

  1. What apprenticeship programmes are currently offered internally within your organisation?
  2. Is your organisation an apprenticeship levy payer? If so, could you provide details about how the levy is utilised?
  3. The contact details (name, email, and/or phone number) for the person(s) responsible for Learning & Development and apprenticeships within your organisation. I can confirm the PCA does hold some information which meets the description set out in your request.

The PCA does not offer any apprenticeship programmes, and it is not an apprenticeship levy payer. I am the person in the PCA responsible for Learning and Development, and my email address is Julia.Tortise@pubscodeadjudicator.gov.uk. I can also be contacted via the office@pubscodeadjudicator.gov.uk inbox.

If you do not believe that the office of the PCA has provided an appropriate response to your request, as set out above, you are entitled to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your original request and should be made in writing, quoting the above reference, to office@pubscodeadjudicator.gov.uk or:

PCA 4th Floor 23 Stephenson Street Birmingham B2 4BJ

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. The Information Commissioner will not usually accept complaints before the internal review procedure has been completed.
