London Borough of Hackney

The complainant requested information relating to the provision of Education Health Care Plans (EHCP) to children with special educational needs. The London Borough of Hackney (the Council) provided information in response, but the complainant said it was not the information he had requested. The complainant submitted a clarified request (request 2) and the Council refused this as repeated under section 14(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was not entitled to rely on section 14(2) in respect of request 2. The Commissioner also finds that the Council has failed to comply with section 1(1)(a), section 1(1)(b) and section 10(1) in that the information it has disclosed is not the information that was actually requested by the complainant in request 2.
