Monkhouse Primary School
- Date 23 June 2021
- Sector Education
- Decision(s) FOI 14: Not upheld, FOI 17: Partly upheld
The complainant requested a variety of information regarding health and safety, with particular emphasis on an incident he alleges took place in 2016. Monkshouse Primary School refused the requests as vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requests were vexatious and the School was therefore entitled to rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA to refuse them. However, as the School failed to respond to Request 1 within 20 working days, it breached section 17(5) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any further steps to be taken.
