Response

Full Disclosure - 1 March 2023

The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and Wandsworth Council entered into a shared staffing arrangement on 1 October 2016. For further details about this arrangement please see: http://www.richmond.gov.uk/wandsworth. Under the shared staffing arrangement all staff are jointly employed by both Councils. It is not generally possible within the context of FOI requests relating to staffing information (numbers) to provide a separate figure/information for each Council. Therefore, unless indicated otherwise, where a response refers to information (or numbers) employed by one or other Council the response provided will in fact relate to the workforce covering both Councils services. Please see attached spreadsheet.

Internal training so no travel and accommodation cost.
