Personally Identifying Information

Information here requested is considered to be exempt from disclosure under s40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (as amended by the Data Protection Act 2018). This section applies where the information, if provided, would have the potentially to identify a living individual and breach the protections afforded to that person’s privacy under the Data Protection Act. There is no requirement for us to demonstrate the harm that disclosure would cause nor for us to consider whether there is public interest in disclosure. In considering the application of the exemption I would advise that a disclosure under the FOI act is wholly public and the release of the information together with the low numbers (<6) recorded each year has the potential to identify a living individual. To do so would breach Principle 1 of the Data Protection Act: Fair and Lawful processing.

FOI Act Section 40 (2) as amended by Data Protection Act 2018. Personal Information (2) Any information to which a request for information relates is also exempt information if— (a) it constitutes personal data which does not fall within subsection (1), and (b) the first, second or third condition below is satisfied.

(3) The first condition is— (3A) The first condition is that the disclosure of the information to a member of the public otherwise than under this Act (a) would contravene any of the data protection principles

Department of Education Guidelines state: When reporting on the number of children, pupils or teachers, a threshold of 3 is set for the suppression so that values of 1 and 2 only are suppressed. This applies to all published statistics, with the exception of the following where a threshold of 6 is set so that values of 1 to 5 inclusive are suppressed: Looked After Children, Private Fostering, Children Accomodated in Secure Children’s Homes, Exclusions, Sample Survey Data
