Published Date: 06 August 2008
COUNCIL officials have declined to disclose any allegations of bullying, assault or sexual harassment made against local authority staff in Edinburgh.
A freedom of information request was sent to the council, asking for information on all allegations and subsequent disciplinary action taken since 2004.

But head of human resources, Philip Barr, said: "While information that meets the requirement of (the] request may exist, it is not held centrally and there is no corporate reporting requirement for this information to be aggregated in a manner that would meet (the] request. The information is either not formally recorded, has been disposed of, cannot be obtained within allowable cost parameters or falls outwith the scope of the Act."

Today's Vote

Would the council be justified in spending £6000 on the Provost’s India trip?
Yes, he's working to promote Edinburgh overseas
No, the council should have the right expertise in-house
Yes, it pays to ask people who know what they’re on about
Yes, but the price could come down if his wife wasn't going too
No, there are better ways to spend the money in Edinburgh
Maybe, if the consultants ended up saving the city money
