1. Under the Freedom of Information Act, please may I have a redacted copy (i.e. one which does not contain names, addressed or other information likely to lead to a person on the register being identified) of the latest copy of your Potentially Violent Persons Register aka Restricted Persons Register aka Cautionary Register aka publication of any blacklists which the council may operate. This would include (but not exclusive to)
• serial complainers
• violent/aggressive/abusive persons
• troublemakers
• campaigners/activists
I would also request information on the distribution/circulation of these lists.

• Serial complainers: within Housing serial complainers would not be added to a caution list, this would be handled under the unacceptable behaviour policy as the caution list is only risks raised if visiting a person at home. Serial complainers are not something we would see as a risk, unless they were threatening to staff members or their neighbours.
• Campaigners/activists: within Housing this is not something we would add to our Caution List as the caution list is only risks raised if visiting a person at home.
• I would also request information on the distribution/circulation of these lists: we distribute this internally to the ASB Team, Adult Social Care, the Income and Assessments Team (Benefits / Council Tax), Housing Services including Housing Needs – this is only sent to any staff or contractors who may visit one of our Tenants in their homes.
