Governing Body of Ysgol Glannau Gwaun

The complainants have requested various information including a copy of an investigation report into the conduct of a senior member of staff at the school at which their son had been a pupil and which they believe contained details of an allegation concerning their son against the senior teacher. The Governing Body provided some information but initially maintained that it did not hold a copy of the requested investigation report. Following the Commissioner’s investigation, the Governing Body confirmed that it held a copy of the report but refused to disclose it under section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Governing Body has correctly relied on section 40(2) to withhold the information. The Commissioner also notes that the Governing Body breached section 17(1) and sections 17(7)(a) and (b) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld
