Charity Commission for England and Wales

The complainant has requested the Charity Commission (CC) to disclose a serious incident report (RSI) submitted by The Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation and any pre-investigation assessment undertaken by CC. They also asked for the number of other RSIs submitted by this charity between 2011 and 2016. CC refused to disclose the RSI and associated correspondence relating to its assessment in accordance with section 31(1)(g) of FOIA. In terms of its correspondence and assessment, CC also relied on section 41 of FOIA. For the latter, the number of other RSIs submitted between 2011 and 2016, CC refused to confirm or deny holding this information under section 31(3). During the Commissioner’s investigation CC disclosed some information to the complainant but made redactions under section 40 of FOIA for some personal data. It also withdrew its application of section 31(3) of FOIA to the latter part of the request and provided a response under FOIA. No further complaint was made about these parts of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that CC is entitled to refuse to disclose the remaining withheld information under section 31(1)(g) of FOIA. He therefore does not need to consider section 41 of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken.

FOI 31(1)(g): Complaint not upheld
