Scottish Government Department of Education circular LJ/002/2012: FOI release
Information requested
A copy of Scottish Government Department of Education circular LJ/002/2012 as sent out by Education Scotland to Scottish Universities.
Response
I enclose a copy of some of the information you requested in the format you asked for.
An exemption(s) under section(s) s.38(1)(b) of FOISA applies to a small amount of the information you have requested because it is personal data of a third party, ie names and contact details of individuals, and disclosing it would contravene the data protection principles in Article 5(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and in section 34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018. This exemption is not subject to the 'public interest test', so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption.
