The complainant requested information relating to the Safeguarding Investigation Unit. Sussex Police provided some information within the scope of the request but denied holding the remainder. During the Commissioner’s investigation, further recorded information was identified and disclosed to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that Sussex Police breached sections 1 (general right of access) and 10 (time for compliance) of the FOIA, by failing to disclose to the complainant information to which he is entitled within 20 working days of his request. As a response has now been provided to the complainant, the Commissioner does not require Sussex Police to take any further steps in relation to this request.
