Please find link to our external web pages, which provides contact details for Senior Staff within the Directorates requested:

It should be noted however that Gail Quinton, our former Director of Children's Services, has left the Authority and we currently have an interim Director of Children's, Families and Communities, Simon White, email: and telephone number 01905 846303.

Furthermore our Director of Adult Services and Health has also recently left the Authority, and Anne Clarke is our Interim Director for Adult Social Services, telephone number 01905 846984 Email:

We regret we are unable to release individual names and contact details for other members of the Team as they are not public facing/accessible to the general public. We believe the following exemption applies:

Section 38 – Health & Safety & Section & Section 40(2) – Personal Information.

Section 38 - (1) Information is exempt information if its disclosure under this Act would, or would be likely to

(a) endanger the physical or mental health of any individual, or

(b) endanger the safety of any individual.

Section 40(2) – Personal Information

Worcestershire County Council considers that the information you have requested constitutes personal information. The staff members within the Teams are not senior managers; and therefore have a reasonable expectation that their details will not be disclosed in this context. We are withholding this information under section 40(2) of the Act.

Personal information about living individuals is exempt under the Freedom of Information Act if disclosure to a third party would breach one or more principles of the Data Protection Act 1998. As staff who work for the County Council and individuals who are not employed by Worcestershire County Council do not expect their details to be disclosed, to do so would be unfair; therefore, disclosure would breach the first principle of the Data Protection Act 1998 which requires data to be processed fairly and lawfully.

Can I draw your attention to the copyright statement and the Reuse of Public Sector Information section at the bottom of this letter.

If you have any queries or concerns relating to this then please contact me.

If you have a complaint about the handling of this enquiry then in the first instance please contact:
