Information Commissioner's Office

Summary: The complainant made a request for information from Sheffield City Council (the -�Council-�) for the curriculum vitae (-�CV-�) details, application for employment and references of a senior employee. He also requested other details surrounding the recruitment and selection of the same senior employee. The Council disclosed part of the requested information to the complainant but withheld the CV, application, reference details and the names of the selection panel that recruited the employee. During the course of the investigation the Council disclosed the names of the selection panel but continued to withhold the remaining requested information. The Commissioner considers that the Council correctly withheld the remaining information under section 40(2) and requires no other action to be taken. However, the Commissioner also finds that the Council breached section 10(1) in responding late to the request.
