Leeds Safeguarding Children Partnership
Due to the presence of non-public sector members of the partnership this body is not subject to FOI. 


Leeds Safeguarding Children Partnership claims: "A Freedom of Information request can be made directly to partner agencies of the LSCP, where an LSCP partner is deemed to be a public authority under the FOI and holds information for its own purposes. However, partners in possession of LSCP minutes, documents, reports etc. are holding this information on behalf of “another person“ in this case the LSCP and it is therefore not liable to disclosure under a FOI request."


We suspect that requests to partners which include NHS Leeds Clinical Commissioning Group and West Yorkshire Police for minutes, documents, reports etc. from the partnership should be successful. This authority isn’t subject to FOI, due to minority non-public sector owner(s) or member(s)
