University of Southampton

The complainant has requested the university to disclose the training material used to train a particular therapist. Initially, the university refused to disclose this information citing section 43 of the FOIA. However, during the Commissioner’s investigation the university decided to disclose the requested information to the complainant and withdraw its previous reliance on section 43 of the FOIA. The Commissioner has reviewed how the requested was handled and he has recorded a breach of section 10 of the FOIA in this case. Overall, however, he requires no further action to be taken.
