The complainant has requested information from the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) in relation to questionnaires issued to parents regarding Ofsted inspections carried out in schools. The Commissioner’s decision is that Ofsted has breached sections 1(1)(a), 1(1)(b) and 10(1) of FOIA as it failed to provide the requested information or confirm or deny whether it held that information, within the 20 working day time limit as set out in section 10(1) of FOIA. As Ofsted have now provided the complainant with a response to his request which complies with the requirements of the Act he orders no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2013/0068 allowed.
