Transparency: The proper use of MHRA reports/correspondence in disciplinary processes requires transparency about what the reports/letters actually contain and conclude. Accountability: Public bodies should be held accountable for how they interpret and apply regulatory findings in employment decisions. Natural Justice: The principles of natural justice require that individuals have access to evidence being used against them in serious proceedings. Legitimate Interest I have a legitimate interest in this information as: * The authorised representative of the affected employee * The letter is being used as primary evidence in disciplinary proceedings * Our member's professional registration and career are at risk * We need to ensure the Trust's interpretation of the letter is accurate and complete Format and Delivery I would prefer to receive this information electronically via email. If the information is extensive, please provide it in searchable PDF format or contact me to arrange alternative delivery methods. Data Protection I understand that you may need to consider data protection obligations in responding to this request. However, I would highlight that: * This information relates directly to disciplinary proceedings involving our member * We have a legitimate interest in accessing evidence being used against our member * Any third-party personal data could be redacted where genuinely necessary * The serious nature of the allegations justifies disclosure in the interests of fairness Timeline I understand that you have 20 working days to respond to this request under the FOI Act. Given the urgent nature of the ongoing disciplinary proceedings, I would be grateful for the earliest possible response. If you need any clarification regarding this request or require additional information to process it, please contact me immediately. This request is made to ensure that serious disciplinary allegations based on MHRA findings are founded on complete and accurate information. The public interest in fair employment processes and the proper use of regulatory reports strongly supports full disclosure of this information.
