Local Government & Social Care Ombudsman

The complainant has requested a list of email addresses for the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman’s (‘the Ombudsman’) investigators. The Ombudsman has withheld this information citing section 40(2) (personal information), and by extension 40(3)(a), of the FOIA as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is the Ombudsman is entitled to rely upon section 40(2) as a basis for refusing to disclose the requested information. The Commissioner requires no further steps.
