Working from abroad

Requested Fri 06 September 2024
Responded Thu 10 October 2024

I am requesting, under the Freedom of Information Act, answers to the following questions:

1. How many staff worked from abroad, full time or for a period of time, in the year ending 31 December 2023? By abroad I mean overseas and not Wales,- ie not Wales, Scotland, or the Republic of Ireland if the local authority is in Northern Ireland.

2. If any staff did work from abroad, full time or for a period of time, please name the country and the grade of the employee.

3. If for a period of time, please say how long the staff member worked abroad.

4. And please include the details of employees working abroad full time, or for a period of time in 2024.

Response

The Freedom of Information Act is based on recorded information held by a local authority, it is not a tool to ask questions.

Your request is simply asking questions, and therefore falls outside the remit of the Act.
