The complainant requested information regarding the installation of cameras and biometric identity technology at the school and whether there had been parental consultation about this. The Commissioner’s decision is that documentation relating to parental consultation about the installation of these technologies and any internal guidance documentation relating to their use is not held by the school. By withholding part of the requested information under s38(b) the school did not deal with the request in accordance with the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the school to disclose the information requested in parts (i) and (ii) of the request.
