-<p>If it is sensitive personal information that has been accidentally

-requests to remove personal information which come from the individual

-<p>We consider for various reasons that there is a strong public interest in
-retaining the names of officers or servants of public authorities. We will only
-remove such names in exceptional circumstances, such as where the disclosure of
-a name and position of employment would substantially risk an individual's
-safety. If you are such an official and you wish to have your name removed for
-such an urgent reason, you must supply us with a request to do so from your
-line manager. This request must demonstrate that a risk has been perceived
-which outweighs the public interest, and must demonstrate that efforts have
-been made to conceal the name on the organisation's own website.</p>
-
-<p>For all other requests we apply a public interest test to decide
-whether information should be removed.
