FOI Request - School Health and Safety

Request 101003816045

I am writing to request the following information under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.

1. Please provide any records, reports, or correspondence related to complaints or concerns raised about health and safety issues concerning all primary and secondary schools in your local authority area between 1 July 2023 and 1 July 2025. This includes but is not limited to:
a) Formal complaints submitted by staff, parents, or members of the public
b) Health and safety inspection reports
c) Incident or accident reports related to the school premises
d) Any investigations or actions taken in response to such complaints or issues

Response 23-07-2025

In order to find this information we would have to check records from each school for each month, as not all of this information is held centrally. At an assumed 5 minutes x 48 months per 47 schools, this would take more than 40 hours and this would cost the Council in excess of £600. Even the centrally held information would need to be checked individually to check for personal sensitive information that would need to be redacted, so in accordance with section 12 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, excessive cost, we are therefore unable to comply with your request.
