Summary: The complainant requested information relating to accusations of sexual abuse made by a named individual against anyone other than another named individual. Darlington Borough Council (the Council) refused to confirm or deny whether any relevant information is held, relying on the exemption provided by section 40(5)(b)(i) of the Freedom of Information Act (the Act). The Council determined that to reveal whether any information is or is not held would breach one of the data protection principles. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Council correctly applied the exemption. No further action is required.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
