The Council was asked various questions about detriment caused to children by social workers and about the recourse available to those children.
One question asked how many children had disclosed any form of detriment to social workers. The Council said that it would exceed the cost threshold of FOISA to supply information for part of the request. Following an investigation, the Commissioner agreed that responding to this question would exceed pounds 600, but found that the Council had failed to provide reasonable advice and assistance.
He also found that the Council failed to address another question, but required no action as a response was provided during the investigation.
