Plashet School
The complainant has requested information about an “equalities club”. The above public authority relied on sections 22 (intended for publication) and 40(2) of FOIA (third party personal data) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority has appropriately relied on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold the information falling within the scope of element [1] of the request. In respect of elements [2] and [3], the emails can be sufficiently anonymised to the point that they are no longer personal data and therefore s40(2) does not apply. Section 22 does not apply to any of the withheld information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: disclose the information falling within the scope of elements [2], [3] and [4]. The public authority must make the redactions described in the confidential annex to remove identifiable information. Keywords: attendanceFOI 22: Complaint upheld FOI 40(2): Complaint partly upheld
