Enquiry Reference: 211 -24
I write in connection with regards to your Freedom of Information request, Below is your request and our response.
My enquiry concerns the Police SEEN Network (https://twitter.com/PoliceSEENUK), a "gender critical" staff network claiming members in police forces throughout the UK.
Please provide:
- Confirmation of whether your force has formally recognised SEEN as a staff network
- Any documents relating to the granting or refusal of such recognition
- The approximate number of SEEN members within your force
- Confirmation of whether SEEN members are permitted to respond to or investigate allegations of transphobic hate crime
- Copies of any policies relating to the above.
Having made enquiries within the Force our answer on the occasion is no information held, this is not something we hold/record.
The Cleveland Police response to your request is unique and it should be noted that Police Forces do not use generic systems or identical procedures to capture and record data therefore responses from Cleveland Police should not be used as a comparison with any other force response you receive.
If you are not satisfied with this response or any actions taken in dealing with your request, you have the right to request an independent internal review of your case under our review procedure. The APP College of Policing guidance states that a request for internal review should be made within 20 working days of the date on this response or 40 working days if extenuating circumstances to account for the delay can be evidenced.
Yours sincerely
Information Rights Decision Maker
