Hamilton and Scottish Social Services Council (Attendance At Courses and Qualifications Obtained): SIC 25 Aug 2015

SIC Attendance at courses and qualifications obtained – On 11 March 2015, Mr Hamilton asked the Scottish Social Services Council (the SSSC) for information which would show whether two named individuals had attended certain courses and obtained certain qualifications.
The SSSC withheld this information on the basis that it was personal data of the two named individuals and was exempt from disclosure under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner was satisfied that the SSSC did not hold some of the information Mr Hamilton had asked for, but that it had failed to notify Mr Hamilton that this was the case. The Commissioner accepted that the information held by the SSSC was exempt from disclosure under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA.
