Channel 4

In a seven-part request, the complainant has requested information from Channel 4 about complaints about bullying submitted through its ‘Speak Up’ facility. Channel 4 considers two parts of the request aren’t valid requests under FOIA. It has refused the remaining five parts under section 40(2) and 40(5) of FOIA - personal information, section 41 – information provided in confidence and section 36(3) of FOIA – prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: Parts 3 and 4 of the request aren’t valid requests under section 8 of FOIA. Channel 4 correctly applied section 36(3) to the remaining five parts of the complainant’s request. It’s entitled to neither confirm nor deny it holds information that’s relevant to these parts as to do so would be likely to prejudice the effective conduct of public affairs. It’s not necessary for Channel 4 to take any corrective steps.
