- Decision(s) FOI 35: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information on the Department for Education’s (DfE) policy on face coverings in classrooms. The DfE refused the request under section 35(1)(a) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfE has correctly applied the exemption and the public interest lies in withholding the information.
