Dear Ms Robillard,


Freedom of Information request ­ [RFI20141412]


Thank you for your request to the BBC of 01/09/2014, seeking the following information under the
Freedom of Information Act (`the Act') 2000:


`Who was responsible for editing and publishing for the BBC Action community site
from 2006 to it's closure?'


The information you have requested is excluded from the Act. This is because our subsidiaries
(including BBC Studios & Post Production Ltd, UKTV, BBC Global News Ltd and BBC Worldwide
Ltd), as well as the charities BBC Media Action and BBC Children in Need, are not subject to the
Freedom of Information Act, pursuant to 6(1)(b)(ii) of the Act. The BBC is therefore not obliged to
provide this information to you and will not be doing so on this occasion.


That said, the BBC makes a huge range of information available about our programmes and content
on bbc.co.uk. We also proactively publish information covered by the Act on our publication
scheme and regularly handle requests for information under the Act.


Appeal Rights


The BBC does not offer an internal review when the information requested is not covered by the
Act. If you disagree with our decision you can appeal to the Information Commissioner. Contact
details are: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire,
SK9 5AF telephone 01625 545 700. www.ico.org.uk


Please note that should the Information Commissioner's Office decide that the Act does cover this
information, exemptions under the Act might then apply.


Yours sincerely,

The Information Policy & Compliance Team
