  • Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 40: Not upheld

The complainant has requested information regarding a safeguarding complaint he made about an incident at a school. Norfolk County Council (‘the Council’) disclosed some information. It withheld a small amount of information under section 40 (Personal information) of FOIA. It also confirmed to the complainant that it did not hold any further information falling within the scope of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to withhold the name and email address of an Ofsted staff member under section 40(2) of FOIA. He finds that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold any further information falling within the scope of the request. The Commissioner does not require further steps as a result of this decision.
