- Request or Question
- Please provide me with the total costs from May 2023 to the most up to date estimate circa May 2024, from damage caused to schools by pupils. By this I mean the financial cost incurred from damage to all aspects of the school, the school estate, equipment etc. perpetrated by pupils, to schools in your council area.
- Response
- Unfortunately we don t hold data on pupil damage, it is just generalised to vandalism within our helpdesk system and within Business World. This task would take a considerable amount of time to complete and would exceed the threshold of cost incurred in responding to an FOI request, and we therefore apply section 12 of FOISA. The estimated time of dealing with your request would involve over 40 hours of officer time. To comply with your request an officer would be required to trawl our system to identify, extract and summarise the data.
