Reports regarding Ending Conversion Practices consultation: FOI release
Information requested
A copy of each of the five reports from stakeholder roundtable events organised as part of the consultation entitled Ending Conversion Practices in Scotland.
Response
I enclose a copy of some of the information you requested.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Government does not have some of the information you have requested. The reasons why we don't have the information are explained below.
The Scottish Government does not have the information you have asked for because, at the time of the request, the Scottish Government is yet to receive the final reports for four of the five stakeholder roundtable events. We hope to receive the final reports by the end of Summer.
This is a formal notice under section 17(1) of FOISA that the Scottish Government does not have the information you have requested.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because an exemption under section s.38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why that exemption applies are explained below.
An exemption under section s.38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to some of the information you have requested because it is personal data of a third party, i.e. names and email addresses, and disclosing it would contravene the data protection principles in Article 5(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and in section 34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018.
This exemption is not subject to the 'public interest test', so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption.
