University College Birmingham
The complainant has requested information regarding the role of Vice Chancellor and the Director role at Student services. University College Birmingham (UCB) provided some information (part 1 of the request), confirmed some information was not held (parts 2-4 of the request) and refused to disclose some information due to its “UK GDPR data protection responsibilities” (parts 5-7 of the request). On internal review UCB disclosed the information that had been withheld. The Commissioner considers that UCB has not fully responded to part 1 of the request under section 1(1) FOIA. The Commissioner considers that UCB correctly denied holding the information requested at parts 2-4 of the request under section 1(1)(a) FOIA. UCB breached section 10 FOIA in the handling of this request as it has not fully responded to part 1 of the request, it did not deny holding the information requested at parts 2-4 and it did not provide the information requested at parts 5-7 of the request within the statutory time for compliance. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide a response under section 1(1) FOIA to the part of the request for “Can you please let me know when Ray Linforth left the job role of Vice Chancellor”FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint partly upheld
