Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills

The complainant has requested information relating to any safeguarding complaints or concerns raised with Ofsted about Elland Academy. Ofsted responded to the request refusing to disclose the requested information under section 33(1)(b) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Ofsted has correctly applied section 33(1)(b) of the FOIA to the request and the public interest in favour if disclosure is outweighed by the public interest in maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require any further action to be taken.
