School attendance staff

18 November 2022

Your questions

• I would like to request, under the freedom of information act, the number of full-time equivalent school attendance staff employed by your council as of July in each of the years from 2011 to 2021.
• if data for the whole date range is not available, I would like data for all years in that range for which data is available. If data isn't available for July then I will accept data for the numbers employed at a different point in the calendar year, for example in December.
• if providing all the data requested would lead to refusal on the grounds it would take too much time or cost too much to collate, then I would accept data for 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021. 
• by “school attendance staff”, I mean anyone employed by the council with responsibility for monitoring, managing, and encouraging school attendance.
