Information requested

Under FOI please provide materials of any and all audit reviews or any reviews conducted by Scottish Government education or audit staff of the SAAS which relate to leadership, management and people for 2025-2026.

Response

Whilst our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) does not hold recorded information in scope of your request.

SAAS has not undertaken, nor been subject to, any audit reviews, or other recorded reviews conducted by Scottish Government education or audit staff, relating to leadership, management or people during the 2025–2026 period.

Therefore, this is a formal notice under section 17(1) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA) that SAAS does not hold the information you have requested for the specified timeframe.

However, in line with our duty to advise and assist, we can confirm that SAAS does hold information relating to a previous audit covering similar subject areas out with the timeframe you requested. A copy of that information has been provided for context.

Please note that some of the information within the attached document has been redacted under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA, as disclosure would contravene the data protection principles by releasing personal data relating to third parties.
