The complainant has requested information about complaints against Norfolk County Council social workers. Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) cited the provision under section 12 (cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit) and the exemption under section 21 of the FOIA (information accessible by other means), and refused to comply with the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that HCPC has correctly applied section 12, section 16 (duty to provide advice and assistance) and section 21 to the request. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further action.
