We would also like to receive the data as an Excel/CSV file.”

Response:

Please note that Devon County Council (DCC) is not an enforcing authority for commercial entities under RIDDOR, and as such does not hold the requested information.  This is a function of district, city and borough councils, so we would suggest that you re-direct your request to these councils, contact details for which can be accessed on our website here

If you wish to speak with someone regarding the above request, please contact the Information Governance Team on 01392 383000 – ask for Information Governance or email accesstoinformation-mailbox@devon.gov.uk
