- Decision(s) FOI 36(2)(b)(ii): Not upheld
The complainant has requested the Department for Education (DfE) to disclose copies of any documents related to the three newly escalated risks presented at the February 2022 Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) board meeting. The DfE refused to disclose the requested information citing sections 35(1)(a), 36(2)(b) and (c) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfE is correct to refuse to disclose the withheld information under section 36(2)(b)(ii) of FOIA. He therefore does not require any further action being taken.
