Response:

Dear Mr Ball

In response to your request for information, the College’s response is detailed below:

  1. “What establishments do you operate outside of the UK, pleaseprovide details of establishment name, location, disciplinesstudied and contact details for Dean/Principal and Human Resources?”

College response to question:

Leicester College does not operate any establishment outside of the UK.

  1. “What affiliations do you have with providers of education overseas and what services do you provide them?”

College response to question:

The College operates affiliations with a small number of overseas providers of education linked to a specific service sector. The College confirms that it holds information about these providers and the services provided to them but has withheld it as it is exempt from disclosure under FOIA s 43(2) i.e. disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interests of the organisation.

  1. “Please provide details of recruitment agency spend for your overseas provisions, broken down by establishment and type of spend.”

College response to question:

The College does not operate through recruitment agencies for its affiliations with overseas providers.

I trust the above response explains the College’s position in relation to your data request.
