Request:

“Please provide details of how many (a) racist incidents and (b) homophobic, transphobic and biphobic incidents have been recorded in (i) primary and (ii) secondary schools in your area in each of the last three academic years.

Response:

Devon County Council does not hold this information, Schools are self-governing and are data controllers of their own information and are therefore responsible for managing their own compliance under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

We hold very little data about schools apart from information they are obliged to send us. For example, schools performance and statistical evaluation and basic budgetary and we publish this information at https://www.devon.gov.uk/schools/

We recommend that you approach schools directly for the information, and they will consider your request in accordance with their own disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
