  • Decision(s) FOI 35(1)(a): Not upheld

The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department for Education (DfE) correctly applied the exemption under section 35(1)(a)(formulation of government policy) to the requested revisions to “Guidance for Schools and Colleges: Gender Questioning Children” and the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. It’s not necessary for DfE to take any corrective steps.
