Correspondence sent by Director of People about Civil Service Pension Scheme/Cap: FOI release

Information requested

ALL correspondence sent by Director Nicola Richards about CIVIL SERVICE PENSION SCHEME/CAPITA from last TWO MONTHS

Response

I enclose a copy of some of the information you requested at Annex A.

I am satisfied that exemption section 38(1)(b) of FOISA (personal information) and the data protection principles set out in Article 5(1) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation and in section 34(1) of the Data Protection Act applies to some of the information you have requested. Specifically, we have applied this exemption to cover this sensitive personal data, which covers HR matters, and is protected.

Therefore, while our aim is to provide information wherever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide the information you have requested about the category, outcome and how these complaints were resolved because an exemption under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA (personal information) applies to that information. This exemption applies because the information is the personal data of third parties and disclosing it would contravene the data protection principles set out in Article 5(1) of the UK

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.
