Decision notice FS50784641

The complainant has requested internal guidance documents sent to staff on the implementation of the Council’s Home to School Transport Policy. The Council refused the request on the basis that it would exceed the cost limit at section 12 of the FOIA to comply. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied the provisions of section 12 to refuse the request and she also finds that the Council has attempted to provide advice and assistance to refine the request in line with its duties under section 16 of the FOIA. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0266 struck out.
