Devon County Council believes compliance with this request exceeds the appropriate costs limit under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which is £450 or 18 hours of officer time. This is because to get this information we would need to examine the files of each one of the 14,349 children and young people receiving special needs support. Even allowing for 5 minutes per file for this would take well over 100 hours in total.
