Information Commissioner's Office

The complainant made a freedom of information request to the ICO for copies of correspondence related to a previous complaint he had made against Ofsted. The ICO disclosed some of the requested information but also withheld information under the section 44 (prohibitions on disclosure) exemption. The Commissioner has decided that section 44 was correctly applied and the ICO dealt with the request in accordance with the FOIA. He requires no steps to be taken.
