Exclusion of junior department employee details
The department is working towards ensuring that all employees have a choice about whether they
provide their full name, personal logon identifiers and direct contact details in response to public
enquiries. Where such details are included in the scope of a request, this may add to processing
time and applicable charges as it may be necessary to consider whether the details are exempt
under the FOI Act. On this basis, unless you tell us otherwise, we will assume that these details are
out of scope of your request and they will be redacted under section 22 of the FOI Act.
