Hi -, Thank you for your email and for redirecting my request. Do you have the contact details for or could you redirect me to a website where I can find her details? ——————-
Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. Unfortunately this does not relate to Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS Foundation Trust.
As this request relates to ICS a response would need to come from the CCG and not ourselves. I believe Kerry O’ Hara at the CCG is the ICS lead for this so is probably more appropriate to respond. Kind Regards,

I would like to make a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act regarding the following:
1. The spending per financial year on translation services written. and interpreting services oral. for your organisation over each of the following 5 financial years: 2015/2016, 2016/2017, 2017/2018, 2018/2019, 2019/2020, as well as the languages involved. Please do not include data regarding the spending on services for the deaf and blind such as sign language interpreting or Braille..
2. The total budget for your organisation for each of the 5 financial years the information above is provided on, for all expenses not just for translation and interpreting services, i.e. to include all expenses such as salaries, utilities, equipment, consumables etc., with only the total figure given, no breakdown necessary.

This is so that I can calculate the translation and interpreting spending as a percentage of the organisation’s total budget which I suspect would be around or under 0.1%.. The data will be compiled, analysed and published on https://inboxtranslation.com
The above data and subsequent analysis will be part of my research and published on the above website. This means it would be available for free to anyone, so not used commercially. Can you please confirm this is OK from a copyright point of view? I would appreciate it if you could fill in and return the attached Excel document with the information requested only the first tab, named Data.. The second tab, named Example, is just an example of what I am looking for in terms of the information provided.

As part of the Clinical Psychology Training Programme at the University of Birmingham, we are currently in the process of reviewing our recruitment and selection processes. In the future, we hope to ensure that our trainees are representative of the diverse communities and people that live in the Midlands region and that access onto our training programme is fair and equitable. We have partnered with the British Psychological Society BPS. and the Psychological Professions Network PPN. to undertake this task, as we also hope to develop some synergy across the region in a combined approach to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion EDI. within the psychological workforce . Before we can make any formal changes to the process, we first require data about the diversity within the Practicing Psychologist workforce ethnicity and gender.. I have approached various psychology leads to obtain this information at a regional level, however, what is evident is that this data is not held centrally. I was therefore wondering how I could obtain the following sets of information from your Trust
1. The total number of all Practicing Psychologists in your Trust as defined by the HCPC
2. The total number of Clinical Psychologists in your Trust
3. The ethnic breakdown of all Practicing Psychologists in your Trust via census categories
4. The ethnic breakdown of all Clinical Psychologists in your Trust via Census categories. 5. The gender breakdown of all Practicing Psychologist in your Trust via census categories
6. The gender breakdown of all Clinical Psychologists in your Trust via census categories
