Definitions

"Device" — an end-user computer in active use by your own staff, officers and elected or appointed members in delivering your organisation's services: desktops, laptops, tablets and thin clients.

Include devices used in frontline and public-facing services you run directly.

Include devices used by your staff but managed on your behalf by a third party, shared service or managed service provider. Under

s.3(2)(b) FOIA, information held by another person on your behalf is held by you.

Exclude servers, mobile phones, medical devices, operational technology, and any device in storage or awaiting disposal.

Exclude devices used by schools and academies, whether or not you provide their IT support. If fire and rescue services are delivered within your organisation, please include them and confirm this below.

"Unsupported" — the operating system has passed its vendor end-of-support date. Count a device as unsupported even if you hold Extended Security Updates for it. Windows 10 reached end of support on

14 October 2025 and counts as unsupported for the purposes of this request.
