Decision (including any steps ordered)
1. In a seven-part request, the complainant has requested information
from Channel 4 about complaints about bullying submitted through its
‘Speak Up’ facility. Channel 4 considers two parts of the request aren’t
valid requests under FOIA. It has refused the remaining five parts under
information provided in confidence and section 36(3) of FOIA – prejudice
to the effective conduct of public affairs.
2. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows:
• Parts 3 and 4 of the request aren’t valid requests under section 8
• Channel 4 correctly applied section 36(3) to the remaining five
parts of the complainant’s request. It’s entitled to neither confirm
nor deny it holds information that’s relevant to these parts as to
do so would be likely to prejudice the effective conduct of public
affairs.
3. It’s not necessary for Channel 4 to take any corrective steps.
