Dear

FOI Request - ATISN 16262 - Wales Anti-Slavery Leadership Group

Thank you for your request which I received on 14^th April 2022.

You requested the following - Regarding the Wales Anti-Slavery Leadership Group

1. The number of meetings held in each calendar year from 2011 to 2021 (or from whenever the entity in question was created or established until 2021, if later).
2. The cost in maintaining the same, again broken down by calendar year and over the same period.

Our response

The Wales Anti-Slavery Leadership Group was founded in 2013 and initially met three times a year until 2020, however since July 2021 it has moved to a quarterly rotation.

There were no costs incurred by the meetings beyond staff time, and the staff that administer the meetings do so as part of their wider duties.

Next steps

If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response.  Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at:

Information Rights Unit, 
Welsh Government,
Cathays Park, 
Cardiff, 
CF10 3NQ 

or Email: Freedom.ofinformation@gov.wales

Please remember to quote the ATISN reference number above.   

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: 

Information Commissioner’s Office, 
Wycliffe House, 
Water Lane, 
Wilmslow, 
Cheshire, 
SK9 5AF.

However, please note that the Commissioner will not normally investigate a complaint until it has been through our own internal review process.

Yours sincerely
