Social Work England

The complainant has requested information regarding the closure of complaints raised by them. Social Work England relied on 40(2) of FOIA (third party personal information) to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is exempt from disclosure under section 40(1) of FOIA (complainant’s own personal data). The Commissioner has also determined that Social Work England breached section 10(1) and 17(1) of FOIA as it didn’t comply with section 1(1) or issue a refusal notice within the statutory timeframe. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken. It has come to the Commissioner’s attention that Social Work England responded to this request within 20 working days and therefore did not breach sections 10(1), 17(1) and 1(1).

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld FOI 1(1): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 257022
