Home Office

The complainant submitted a request for information to the Home Office for an electronic copy of the report that informed the costings in their ‘Tackling Child Sexual Abuse Strategy’ (“TCSA”) report published in January 2021. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office has incorrectly cited section 21 (information readily available) under FOIA as the requested information was not readily available to the complainant at the time of the request. The Home Office also breached sections 1(1)(a) and 10(1) of the FOIA by failing to respond to the request within the 20 working day time for compliance. The Commissioner does not require the Home Office to take any additional steps in relation to this decision notice.

FOI 21: Complaint upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld
