Message from Nottinghamshire County Council - 14 July 2026
Dear *********,
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 – REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REFERENCE FOI/8170
Thank you for your request for information relating to Request for information relating to job titles in corporate learning and development teams..
We are now able to provide the following information:
1. Officer Responsibilities and Contact Details
The Council holds information relating to the relevant functions requested.
Where posts are held by senior officers (i.e. those at Director / Head of Service level), the Council considers that disclosure of names is appropriate. However, where roles are held below a senior level, the names and direct contact details of individual officers are exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (personal data), as disclosure would contravene the data protection principles.
In line with this, we have provided generic contact details where appropriate. For further contextual information about senior officers, including named roles, the Council’s organisational structure is available here: [The Council"s structure | Nottinghamshire County Council]
