SIC Complaints against school departments: failure to respond within statutory timescales – On 19 February 2014, Dr Dunbar asked Scottish Borders Council (the Council) for information concerning complaints made against school departments in each of the previous five years. This decision finds that the Council failed to respond to the request within the timescale allowed by the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA). The decision also finds that the Council failed to comply with Dr Dunbar’s requirement for review within the timescale set down by FOISA.
The Commissioner has ordered the Council to comply with the requirement for review.
