Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills
The complainant has requested information about the registration of specific foster and adoption agencies. Ofsted refused to provide the information as it either isn’t held, or fell outside the scope of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that: on the balance of probabilities Ofsted doesn’t hold the information in relation to local authority services and where information in relation to indepent services is held by Ofsted, it’s held for the purposes of functions exercisable by His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills. As such, the information is derogated and section 1(1) of FOIA does not require Ofsted to disclose it. The Commissioner does not require further steps.FOI 1: Complaint not upheld
