2 February 2017, Local government (City council)
The complainant has requested a copy of an Independent Management Review (“IMR”) of Derby City Council’s Children’s Social Care Department. The IMR which the complainant seeks was carried out for the purpose of a Serious Case Review into the death of a child referred to as DD12. Derby City Council has withheld the requested information in reliance on section 36(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that Derby City Council has properly applied section 36(2) and it is therefore entitled to withhold the requested IMR.
FOI 36: Not upheld
