Make a freedom of information request

When we may not be able to provide information

There are some circumstances where we will not be able to provide the information you have requested:

  • if we do not hold the information, for example if it has been destroyed due to data retention policies, or if another public body holds it
  • if the information requested falls under an exemption of the Freedom of Information Act
  • if the cost of providing the information exceeds an appropriate limit
  • if the request has been made repeatedly, or with the aim of frustrating the operations of Birmingham Children's Trust
