The question relates to payments made in 2020/2021 regardless of when the incident took place. If the settlement was made by the authority's insurers it is still information "held" by your authority under the terms of the Act.

1. In the last financial year 2020/2021 please provide me with the number of settlements and the total amount paid as compensation to teachers or teaching assistants for injuries sustained at schools or outside schools. For each incident please provide me with the amount of compensation, costs and a summary of the claim.
One claim settled; tripping incident on school/council site; £9,000 compensation; £9,661.20 costs (claimant and council solicitors). This has been answered in respect of all claims passed to the council’s insurers. Schools might hold information on other claims if they have dealt with them directly, and they are a separate entity under the FOI Act so would need to be contacted directly on the matter.
