Can anyone advise how best to word a Freedom of Information request for a person looking for their personnel file please?
Can a request include emails about the person sent between management and HR. Can it include notes/minutes of meetings between the individual and their manager or HR, particularly where there were no formal minutes circulated - but notes would certainly have been taken? I'm guessing that they'd try to just return the personnel file with standard contracts/leave history/appraisals etc. Is there any way to ensure access to notes from more informal meetings?
Is it best to use FOI or Data Protection for such a request?
Any advice appreciated.
