Ask for Angela campaign - Find a freedom of information request

Ask for Angela campaign.

1. I request the yearly promotional cost of the campaign from 2016 - June 2024.

2. I also request the yearly training cost of the campaign from 2016 - June 2024.

3. I also request a breakdown of how the campaign is being implemented from 2016 - June 2024.

4. I also request a breakdown of how staff members are being trained under the campaign from 2016 - June 2024.

5. I also request access to any training documents or literature from the campaign from 2016 - June 2024.

6. I also request a breakdown of the budget plans of the campaign for 2025.

7. I also request how many local council reports have mentioned 'Ask for Angela' in the last year and since the campaign started in 2016.

1. Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) is no longer able to access the legacy system for pre-2023 cost information. Any campaign costs (LCC may run several campaigns in one year) are not recorded separately, but instead under a generic 'conferences and campaigns' cost heading, it would therefore not be possible to provide the detail requested.

2. LCC IS no longer able to access the legacy system for pre-2023 cost information. Post 2023, there have been no training costs for Lincolnshire County Council. The intention was always for the campaign to become embedded into venues everyday business, so venues would continue to promote the campaign and train their own staff as and when they needed rather than that being delivered by the Council.

3. Lincolnshire Pubwatch members and venues continue to promote the campaign without oversight or intervention from LCC. The service responds to approaches from a wide range of organisations from across the globe, keen to implement the campaign in their locality. LCC support them in achieving that, through the sharing of materials and advice/guidance. LCC also respond to requests from (mainly) local media regarding the campaign.

4. Please see response to Question 2. Venues train their own staff as and when the need arises.

5. Promotional materials (such as the master poster/ beer mats) and implementation guidance documents are available on LCC's website.

6. There are currently no budget plans relating to the campaign for 2025.

7. The campaign has not been referenced in LCC reports in the last year. It is not possible to quantify references to the campaign since it's inception, as this is likely to be embedded within the body of reports relating to Sexual Violence for example
