The complainant has requested information from Wymondham High Academy Trust (the Trust) about the consultation responses on changes to the school day. The Trust withheld the information, citing the exemption under section 40(2) of the FOIA (third party personal data). The Information Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust incorrectly applied the exemption under section 40(2). He requires it to disclose all the consultation responses with names, addresses and any biographical details redacted; and disclose the Trust’s responses to these consultation responses.
