The complainant has requested information about any investigations or disciplinary action conducted concerning the then Chief Executive Officer and Covid breaches that occurred in 2020 or 2021. The Equality and Human Rights Commission ('the EHRC') relied on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner's decision is that EHRC was entitled to rely on section 40(2) to withhold the investigation report and supporting documentation, but it was not entitled to rely on section 40(2) to withhold the information in response to the questions in the request. The Commissioner requires the EHRC to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: The EHRC must disclose the information requested in response to the questions in the request.
