The Consortium of Selective Schools in Essex
The complainant has requested information about selection tests. The Consortium of Selective Schools in Essex (CSSE) released aggregated data but has refused to release the specific information the complainant has requested. It considers that to do so would release the personal data of third persons and that therefore the requested information is exempt information under section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is follows: The requested information is not personal data and does not engage the section 40(2) exemption. CSSE breached section 17(1) as it did not issue the complainant with an adequate refusal notice. The Commissioner requires CSSE to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Release to the complainant the information he has requested.
FOI 17:
Complaint upheld
FOI 40:
