The complainant has requested information about the number of children leaving schools to be educated at home for the academic years of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. Medway Council has disclosed conflicting responses to part of the request, and has not responded to the remainder. The Council has acknowledged that it has not provided a substantive response under the terms of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has failed to provide a substantive response, and has therefore breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Issue a response, under the FOIA, to the request (which the Council has given the reference ‘MFOI001174’).
