Information request
Under the Freedom of Information Act, please could I request the following information:
I am particularly interested in grants which I consider to be a fund given by an end entity, often a public body, to an individual or another entity for a specific purpose linked to public benefit. I am interested in all grants, which can be viewed here:
1. Please can you provide a list of all grants distributed between 2020/2021 and 2021/2022, including information on the following:
a. Name of grant
b. Type of grant
c. Grant value
d. Volume of grants awarded
The table below is an example of the information required:
| Financial year | Grant type | Grant name | Grant value | Volume of Grants |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020/2021 | E.g. Formula funding | E.g. Dedicated School grant | £x | x |
2. How many Full Time Equivalents (FTE’s) did you employ to administer and process grants, and what was the cost in 2020/2021 and 2021/2022?
3. What technology system/s do you use to administer/process grants, and how much was spent on this technology in 2020/2021 and 2021/2022?

The Social Security Advisory Committee is a statutory independent non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions.
It does not award or distribute grants.
