- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information regarding the closure of complaints raised by them. Social Work England relied on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is exempt from disclosure under section 40(1) of FOIA (complainant’s own personal data). The decision notice was incorrect to state that Social Work England breached sections 10(1), 17(1) and 1(1) of FOIA. Social Work England did provide a response within 20 working days and the Commissioner apologises for the error in the decision notice.
