Summary: The complainant requested a breakdown of the results for two directorates in the public authority in response to questions relating to bullying or harassment in staff surveys. The public authority withheld information relevant to a part of the request on the basis of the exemptions at sections 36(2)(c), 40(2) and 41(1) FOIA. It claimed that it did not hold information within the scope of the remaining parts of the request. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the public authority was entitled to withhold the information referred to as -˜the disputed information-™ in this notice on the basis of the exemption at section 40(2). He also finds that, on the balance of probabilities, the public authority did not hold information within the scope of the remaining parts of the request. The public authority does not need to take any steps.
