Kent Police

The complainant has requested a copy of Kent Police’s guidance on dealing with paedophile vigilante groups. Kent Police refused to disclose the requested information on the grounds that it was exempt under section 31 (law enforcement) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Kent Police was entitled to rely upon section 31 to withhold the information. However, she found that it breached section 10 by failing to respond to the request within the statutory time for compliance.

FOI 31: Complaint not upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: fs50711133
