The complainant requested information from Kent County Council (the “council”) relating to changes to special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) home to school transport provision. The council disclosed some information and withheld other information under the exemptions for information intended for future publication (section 22) and prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs (section 36). The council subsequently dropped its reliance on exemptions and disclosed the withheld information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council breached section 10(1) of FOIA by failing to comply with section 1(1) within the statutory time frame of 20 working days. No steps are required.
