Department for Education

The complainant has requested information relating to the ‘Trojan Horse’ case. The DfE disclosed the number of teachers and governors that have faced conduct panel hearings but refused to disclose the legal costs incurred under section 36(2)(c) and 43 of the FOIA. It also refused to disclose details of any claims for compensation, damages and losses under section 43 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 36(2)(c) of the FOIA is engaged, but the public interest in favour of maintaining this exemption is outweighed by the public interest in favour of disclosure. With regards to section 43 of the FOIA, the Commissioner’s decision is that this exemption is not engaged.

FOI 43: Complaint upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 36(2)(c): Complaint upheld
