London Borough of Brent

The complainant has requested information relating to schools in Brent that have had a rapid improvement group (RIG) put in place as an improvement intervention. The London Borough of Brent (the council) provided a partial disclosure of information but withheld the remainder of the information on the basis of section 31(1)(g) by virtue of section 31(2)(c) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 31 of FOIA is engaged, and the balance of the public interest favours withholding the information. The Commissioner does not require any further steps to be taken.
