Royal Borough of Greenwich
The complainant has requested information about referrals of young people to the counter terrorism programme, Prevent. The Royal Borough of Greenwich (‘the Council’) answered the first part of the request and said it did not hold the remaining information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council employed an unreasonably restrictive interpretation of the request and wrongly defined its scope. In doing so, it failed to comply with the provisions of section 1(1)(a) (General right of access) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Council to issue a fresh response to parts (2) – (6) of the request (which includes within its scope any information it holds in connection with the Channel panel) and either disclose such information as it holds or issue a refusal notice which complies with the requirements of section 17(1) of FOIA.FOI 1: Complaint upheld
