The Gorse Academies Trust
1 August 2017, Education (Other)
The complainant requested information held by The Gorse Academies Trust (TGAT) relating to the Gorse Academy Society of Parents Facebook group. TGAT’s response stated that the information was exempt as it was legally professionally privileged. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation some information was disclosed to the complainant and the matter was resolved informally, and so the Commissioner has not considered TGAT’s application of section 42 of the FOIA within the scope of this decision. The complainant requested a formal decision in respect of TGAT’s compliance with sections 10 and 17 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that TGAT failed to comply with sections 10(1), 17(1) and 17(7) of the FOIA, however as TGAT has provided the complainant with some information and the matter has been informally resolved the Commissioner does not require TGAT to take any steps.
