Summary: The complainant submitted a request to St Louise-s Comprehensive College (-the College-) under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-FOIA-) for information about the College-s revised management structure for support staff and details of various meetings held at the College. The Commissioner has investigated the complaint and finds that the College failed to provide the complainant with the information she requested or to issue a valid refusal notice within the statutory timeframe of 20 working days as set out in section 10(1) of FOIA. The College was in breach of its procedural obligations under FOIA in respect of sections 1(1)(a) and 10(1) of FOIA. Since the requested information has still not been provided to the complainant, the Commissioner requires the College to issue a response in compliance with section 1 of the FOIA or issue a refusal notice in accordance with section 17.
