notes: In Northern Ireland local councils do not have responsibility for social services, public housing, transport, education or a number of other functions common to other UK councils - see this page for list of local council responsibilities in Northern Ireland.

The ICO have confirmed that whilst a public authority can request a form is filled in, you are not obliged to do this. By law, the authority has to provide a response to requests that they receive via WhatDoTheyKnow. If they ask you to fill in a form, you should challenge this.
