Confidentiality

Please note: After the consultation has closed, all responses will be published unless respondents specifically request that their response be kept confidential. Your name will NOT be displayed against your comments. Submissions made on behalf of organisations will be displayed back alongside the organisation name. This will apply to all responses whether submitted online, posted, faxed or emailed. If you want us to treat your submission as confidential, please tick the box below.

I wish my submission to be treated as confidential Please tick this box if you wish your submission to be treated as confidential. If you request confidentiality, please be aware that, under the Freedom of Information Act, there is a statutory Code of Practice with which public authorities must comply and which deals, amongst other things, with obligations of confidence. In view of this it would be helpful if you could explain to us why you regard the information you have provided as confidential. If we receive a request for disclosure of the information we will take full account of your explanation, but we cannot give an assurance that confidentiality can be maintained in all circumstances. An automatic confidentiality disclaimer generated by your IT system will not, of itself, be regarded as binding on the Department.
