Department for Education
2 December 2015, Central government
The complainant has requested information from the Department for Education (“DfE”) relating to guidance from the DfE to Ofsted regarding the changes to ‘British values’ in schools. The DfE refused to disclose the requested information, citing section 36(2) of FOIA as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfE has correctly applied section 36(2)(b)(ii) of the FOIA in this case and that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure of the requested information. Therefore, the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 36: Not upheld
