Greasby Junior School

On behalf of a union, the applicant requested information about pay progression. Greasby Junior School (‘the School’) withheld the information under section 40(2) of FOIA as it considered it to be other people’s personal data which it would be unlawful to disclose. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The information requested in the first part of the request can be categorised as other people’s personal data and disclosing it would contravene the data protection legislation. Section 40(2) of FOIA is therefore engaged. The School has not provided a response to the second part of the request and has breached section 10(1) of FOIA in that regard. The Commissioner requires the School to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Provide a response to the second element of the applicant’s request that complies with FOIA.

FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld
