Governing Body of Llanidloes C P School

The complainant requested information about bullying, health and safety and the minutes of meetings of the Governing Body of the Llanidloes C P School (‘the School’). The School provided some information and withheld the minutes under section 21 of the FOIA. The School later provided copies of the minutes, subject to some information being redacted under section 40(2). During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the School acknowledged that some of the information withheld was the complainant’s own personal data, and therefore exempt under section 40(1). The Commissioner has determined that the School correctly applied section 40(1) to some information. The Commissioner also finds that the School breached section 10 of the FOIA in failing to respond to the request within the required timescales. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
