Department for Work and Pensions
The complainant has requested information on the scope and results of a review into safeguarding from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). DWP disclosed some information regarding the scope of the review and withheld information regarding the results of the review under section 35(1)(a). DWP also withheld the personal data within the scope of the request on the basis of section 40(2). The complainant has not disputed the redactions made on the basis of section 40(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, DWP does not hold any further information relating to the scope of the review. He considers that section 35(1)(a) is not engaged in relation to the withheld information regarding the results of the review. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information withheld under section 35(1)(a) with the exception of the information exempt under section 40(2). The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
