At Wirral Council, a good deal of shredding went on, in the face of
requests, and as the heat rose, all uncovered and made public by a
whistleblower.
An external investigation (the Martin Smith report) later found the
'shredder' concerned, a senior officer, rather than being found to have lied
about it, had er.... "misplaced guardedness on which he subsequently had to
backtrack".
So if manic shredding in order to save one's skin has been in vogue at your
organisation, you could be flogging a dead horse looking in even the darkest
of corners ! J
Hope this helps,
Paul

Hi All
When you receive an SAR how much of a search do you have to undertake i.e.
files in dark corners etc. I belive there was a Tribunal Decision on
something like this but can't lay my hands on it. It's just that with this
person there are piles of information but he keeps coming back saying there
should be more although we feel we have exhausted any searches.
Any help greatly appreciated - thaks,
Doreen
