Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education

The complainant has requested information relating to complaints and concerns raised about the Leicester Medical School. The QAA has explained that it is not a public authority for the purposes of the FOIA. It has therefore refused to respond to this request under the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the QAA is not a public authority for the purposes of the FOIA. She therefore upholds the QAA’s position and requires no steps to be taken in this case.
