Good Morning,
I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information from your HR department. Please may you provide me with:
– Policys. relating to absence from work for an employee participating in Medical Research for healthy Volunteers or Patients that are receiving treatment as part of a Clinical Trial.
Clinical trials are research studies performed in people that are aimed at evaluating a medical, surgical, or behavioural intervention. They are the primary way that researchers find out if a new treatment, like a new drug or diet or medical device for example, a pacemaker. is safe and effective in people. Often a clinical trial is used to learn if a new treatment is more effective and/or has less harmful side effects than the standard treatment.
I am asking this question in my capacity as a Research Practitioner working in the field of medical research. As part of our Patient and Public initiative PPI. engagement, we have had feedback on this issue. This feedback relates directly to working individuals and their corresponding employee HR policies. Potentially this activity could require sick leave and/or unpaid absence from work. This means that the potentially impact could mean that a working individual would not be able to have access to /participate in clinical studies. I am gathering information on this topic to understand the actual breath of HR policies specifically related to this type of absence from work for Medical Research Is a policys. relating to Clinical Trial Appointments available within your organisation?
☐ Yes – I would like this information to be provided to me as [paper or electronic copies, or alternatively provision of appropriate web-links – if this information is already available to the public..]
☐ No
If this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the Act, you are required to advise and assist requesters. If any of this information is already in the public domain, please can you direct me to it, with page references and URLs if necessary. If the release of any of this information is prohibited on the grounds of breach of confidence, I ask that you supply me with copies of the confidentiality agreement and remind you that information should not be treated as confidential if such an agreement has not been signed. I understand that you are required to respond to my request within the 20 working days after you receive this letter. I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request.

Annual spend of Elis, Apetito and RJ Lift Services Ltd; The information I have requested is an average spend for each supplier annually, not an accurate breakdown of the spend down to per module/licence etc. I believe that the Organisation should release this information, as I think the commercially sensitivity is reduced due to it not being a complete breakdown of the services.

————————-Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, I am a PhD Student within the Division of Psychology & Mental Health at the University of Manchester. I am writing to make a Freedom of Information request to Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, which I am entitled to under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. My PhD topic is ‘Understanding the Psychological Impact of Online Child Sexual Abuse OCSA.’. As part of this PhD, I am interested in understanding NHS responses to OCSA. Current literature examining the psychological impact of OCSA on young people highlights the difficulty many young people face when trying to access services or explain their experience of online abuse to healthcare professionals Hamilton-Giachritsis et al., 2020; Martin, 2014.. This often makes the healing process more difficult for victims. Likewise, literature exploring healthcare professionals’ perspectives of OCSA, has shown that many practitioners find the assessment tools used to assess for child sexual abuse CSA. to be too general to also assess for OCSA El-Asam et al., 2021.. This past year the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children NCMEC. has seen a 100% increase in the reports from the public of online sexual abuse, and the incidence of online grooming significantly increased WeProtect, 2021.. Qualitative interview-based studies are important for gaining a foundational understanding of how practitioners respond to OCSA. However, due to the rapid increase of OCSA in the past year, it is also valuable to understand treatment availability for OCSA from a wider service level. Therefore, I am sending Freedom of Information requests to NHS Trusts, with affiliated Sexual Assault Referral Centre SARC. or Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services CAMHS.. This will help highlight gaps in current response procedures for OCSA and inform future intervention methods. Attached to this email is a Word Document with a list of questions categorised by service i.e., SARC and CAMHS.. Please answer the questions for the services. affiliated with your Trust. The word document also contains definition of technology facilitated sexual abuse. Please respond to this request by emailing the answers to the questions to Please let me know if you have any concerns, or let me know if the request is too wide or unclear. Additionally, in the instance that any of this information is already in the public domain, could you please direct me to where to locate this information and if needed any page references and URLs.
I understand that you are required to respond to my request within the 20 working days after you receive this email. I would ask if you could confirm that you have received this request by responding to this email.
