From: Simon [mailto:[FOI #2959 email]]
Sent: Monday, 16 January 2017 5:04 PM
To: FOI
Subject: Freedom of Information request - Evaluation methods for Try,
Test, Learn fund policy responses

 

To the FOI Officer,

 

I write seeking access to documents describing the evaluation methods by
which policy responses implemented under the Try, Test Learn Fund will be
monitored and evaluated.

 

I would also like advice if the information I have sought is due to be
released under FOI to individuals or organisations prior to finalisation
of my application.

 

Please initially treat this as a request for administrative access. If the
request cannot be fulfilled under administrative access please treat this
as a formal request under the Freedom of Information Act.

 

I also note the onus rests with the agency to prove why any information
should not be released under the Act and I request the agency provide
evidence in support of any assumptions or assertions used to justify
non-disclosure.

 

Yours faithfully,

Simon Elvery
