Carmarthenshire County Council
The complainant requested disclosure of a safeguarding report by Carmarthenshire County Council (the council). The council explained that no safeguarding report had been produced but instead disclosed a draft safeguarding response to the complainant containing redactions relying on section 40(2) of FOIA (personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council should have relied on section 41 of FOIA (information provided in confidence) to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council breached section 10(1) of FOIA by failing to provide a valid response to the request within the statutory time frame of 20 working days. No steps are required.FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 41: Complaint not upheld
