  • Decision(s) FOI 40(5): Not upheld, FOI 17(1): Upheld

The complainant has requested information from Ernulf Academy, a member of Astrea Academy Trust, about an alleged incident. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Academy should have relied on section 40(5B) of FOIA to refuse to confirm or deny whether any information was held and has applied this exemption himself proactively. He also finds that it breached section 17(1) of FOIA by failing to provide a refusal within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
