I am writing to confirm that the Northern Ireland Assembly Commission (Assembly Commission) has processed your request dated 26 September 2022 in line with the Freedom of Information Act 2000. In your request, you asked:

“Please can you disclose, preferably by PDF, a copy of correspondence or other information (such as that in documents attached to it) received since June 2021 (not including June 2021 itself) from the UK Government's Department for Education relating to Covid policy in schools.”

The Assembly Commission does not hold this information.

You have the right to request a formal review by the Assembly Commission and if you wish to do so, please write to me at the above address. If after such an internal review you are still unhappy with the response, you may appeal to the Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF which will undertake an independent review.

The Assembly Commission may publish details of your FOI request and its official response within the organisational disclosure log. The request will be completely anonymised and you will not be identified in any way. This is to meet the requirements as laid out by in the agreed publication scheme with the Information Commissioners’ Office.

Yours sincerely
