I am writing to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please can you provide the following information, for the academic years 2021-22, 2020-21 and 2019-20 (if applicable)

1. How many vape-related products have been confiscated from pupils at state-run schools in the local authority area?
We do not hold this information. Schools would keep this information not the Local Authority

2. How many school exclusions (temporary or permanent) listed vaping as a reason?
Reasons for suspensions are broken down into ‘drug and alcohol related’ but does not go into any further detail.

3. Is there a specific anti-vaping policy for schools in the local authority area?
Schools will have their own policies, either as a stand-alone policy or within their behaviour policy.
