University of Northampton

Through a multi-part request, the complainant has requested information about electronic systems that the University of Northampton (‘the University’) may use to monitor and record student attendance. The University addressed the majority of the parts of the complainant’s request.  It relied on section 21(1) of the FOIA (information accessible to applicant by other means) to withhold the information requested in part 7.5 of the request.  The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: On the balance of probabilities, the University does not hold the specific information requested at part 7.5 of the request.  The University therefore breached section 1(1)(a) and section 10(1) of the FOIA as it did not confirm to the complainant that it does not hold this information within 20 working days of the request. The Commissioner does not require the University to take any remedial steps.

FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
