We estimate that compliance with your request would exceed the appropriate costs limit under section 12 of the Freedom of information Act 2000. This is currently £450 or 18 hours of officer time. Unfortunately, as we do not have to statutory record this information the only way of collating this would require the checking of every child’s individual record of which there is roughly 4500 records. Therefore this information is exempt from disclosure pursuant to section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act.
