This body sometimes responds to requests by providing a link to a response hosted elsewhere, perhaps on a third party file-transfer service. This practice means the response will not be automatically archived on WhatDoTheyKnow. 


We suggest asking for a response via email, sent to the @whatdotheyknow.com email address the request came from. 

Section 11 of the Freedom of Information Act requires public bodies to follow any reasonable request as to a means of communication. We consider that by making a request via WhatDoTheyKnow and providing a @whatdotheyknow.com email address for the purposes of a response it is always clear that a response via email is being requested. 



If you would like a response published elsewhere to be uploaded to WhatDoTheyKnow please contact us. 

  It may be possible to archive responses published elsewhere  using services like The Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) or archive.is, and you can link to archived copies via an annotation. 


We have advice on transmitting larger files via email on our website.
