Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills

The complainant requested information about the number of inspectors Ofsted has and their home institution. Ofsted provided some information but withheld other information under section 36(2)(c) (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) and section 40(2) (personal data) of the FOIA. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation Ofsted also sought to apply section 33 (audit) to the withheld information. The Commissioner’s decision is that Ofsted is not entitled to rely on sections 40, 36 or 33 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires Ofsted to disclose the withheld information – a list of the home institutes of its inspectors.

FOI 40(2): Complaint upheld FOI 36: Complaint upheld FOI 33: Complaint upheld
