Summary: The complainant requested information relating to data protection training given to particular staff members at Oxfordshire County Council (-the council-). The council refused to provide the specific information, citing the exemption under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-the FOIA-). This exemption relates to personal data. The complainant complained to the Commissioner that it took longer than 20 working days for the council to respond to the request. The Commissioner-s decision is that the council breached section 17(1) of the FOIA because a refusal notice was not issued within 20 working days on this occasion. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
