The complainant has requested the Unique Reference Number (URN) of a particular care home. The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills refused to provide the information as it considered that the particular information requested fell outside the scope of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is held by Ofsted for the purposes of functions exercisable by Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills. As such, the information is derogated and section 1(1) of the FOIA does not require Ofsted to comply with the request. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
