Leicestershire County Council
- Date 22 September 2023
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 1(1): Not upheld
The complainant requested information from Leicestershire County Council (‘the council’) about materials it has circulated to children from the charity Stonewall. The council initially refused the request on the basis that section 43(2) of FOIA applied. The council subsequently disclosed a link to the information which it provides to educational establishments for them to circulate to children and confirmed that no other information is held by it. However, the complainant remained concerned that other information may be held which is passed to looked after children. The Commissioner's decision is that, on a balance of probabilities, no further information is held, and the council has therefore complied with section 1 of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
