· The presumption is in favour of protecting privacy, so the release of personal information will only be fair if there is a genuine reason to disclose. This involves a three-stage test. A public authority will generally have to satisfy itself that:
· There is a legitimate interest in disclosure;
· The legitimate interest can only be met, or fully met, by the disclosure of information which identifies individuals (i.e. the disclosure is necessary to that purpose); and, the disclosure would not involve unwarranted detriment to the individual’s privacy or other rights and legitimate interests.
· You can find out more about FOI exemptions from the Information Commissioner's Office. This will explain which one or more of the FOI exemptions applies, and tell you how to appeal if you disagree with our decision
