Varndean School

The complainant requested information from Varndean School (“the School”) relating to the School’s covid mask wearing risk assessment addendum. The School disclosed some information but the complainant believed that further information within the scope of the request was held. The Commissioner’s decision is that on the balance of probabilities, the School does not hold further information within the scope of the request. However, he also finds that by failing to confirm that it does not hold information within the scope of part a of the request, the School breached section 1(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the School to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. The School must provide the complainant with a fresh response to part a of the request which complies with the requirements of section 1(1) of the FOIA. The School must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court

FOI 1: Complaint partly upheld

Decision notice: 211081
