The complainant requested information relating to a study carried out into elective home education known as ‘The Badman Report’. The public authority refused to disclose the requested information relying upon section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Commissioner considers that the public authority applied section 14 appropriately. However he finds that the public authority has breached section 17(5) of the Act.
