The complainant has requested a report into the performance of the Interim Executive Board (IEB) of a named school. The Department for Education (DfE) disclosed some information but refused to disclose the report in its entirety under the exemptions provided by section 36(2)(c) – otherwise prejudice the conduct of public affairs, and s40(2) – third party personal data. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfE is entitled to rely on section 36(2)(c) to withhold the information. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further action in this matter.
