Department of Education Northern Ireland (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50419885 (30 May 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested copies of questionnaires completed by parents in relation to an inspection of Kirkinriola Primary School. The Department of Education for Northern Ireland (DENI) disclosed some information, but also withheld some information under the exemption for information provided in confidence (section 41). The DENI also made reference to the third party personal information exemption (section 40(2)). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the DENI has correctly withheld some of this information under section 40. However, he has also decided that some of this information is not exempt under either exemption and should be disclosed. The Commissioner requires the DENI to disclose the completed parental questionnaires provided to the DENI in relation to the inspection of Kirkinriola Primary School in March 2011, with some of the information redacted. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
