If you make Freedom of Information (FOI) request and you are not happy with the outcome, you can complain and request a review through our FOI internal review procedure. We send you details of how to complain when we respond to your FOI request.

- your contact details. This may include your address, email address or fax number
- an explanation of why you are not satisfied

Review process
We will acknowledge your request within five days of receiving it. We will also let you know when we expect to respond - this is usually within 20 working days of receiving your request. Occasionally we cannot respond within 20 working days - we will let you know when you can expect a response.
The review will be processed through our customer feedback team.
You will be informed of the decision, and the reasons for that decision, once the internal review has been completed. If you are still unhappy with this review decision we will also tell you how to make a further appeal to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
