Department for Education

The complainant has requested the audio recording of a Professional Conduct Panel hearing into a case against five teachers. The request was refused by the Department for Education (the DfE) under section 40(2), 31(2) and 14 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority has correctly applied the section 40(2) exemption to the request and there is no lawful basis for disclosing the requested information.
