Department for Education
The complainant has requested information from the Department for Education (“DfE”) regarding the trial of a reception baseline assessment in schools. The DfE refused to provide some of the requested information citing section 35(1)(a) – the formulation and development of government policy and section 40(2) – third party personal data. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfE has correctly withheld the requested information under section 35(1) and section 40(2). However, she finds that the DfE did not comply with section 10(1) and section 17(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the DfE to take any further steps.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 35(1)(a): Complaint not upheld FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld FOI 10(1): Complaint upheld
