* Please note that provider names haven’t been provided and are considered exempt under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) where disclosure would allow the possibility of a living individual being identified.  Lincolnshire County Council believes that providing this data could potentially lead to the identification of those children and that disclosure of and the potential risk to the rights of others that could result, would not provide any greater understanding of the subject matter.

We rely upon Section 40(2) FOIA to withhold this information in this regard.

d,e. To find and locate this information in every child’s record would take longer than the 18 hours allocated for an FOI request.
