9 February 2015, Education (School)
The complainant requested information from King Edward VI School (“the School”) about interviews for teaching posts in 2006. The complainant informed the Commissioner that the School had not provided a response to her request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the School has failed to comply with sections 1(1) and 10(1) of the Act as it did not provide a response to the request within 20 working days. The Commissioner requires the public authority to issue a response to the complainant’s request of 18 July 2014 which is compliant with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
