ICO The complainant requested the precise number and copies (with personal information redacted if necessary) of letters or emails requesting the appointment of a particular individual for the Headteacher position at Yesodey Hatorah Senior Girls School (the School). The School disclosed the precise number of letters but withheld copies of them under section 40(2) of the FOIA as they contained the personal data of the Headteacher and the School Principal. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(2) of the FOIA is engaged and therefore the School is not obliged to disclose the actual letters. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
