Isle of Man Rheynn Ynsee as Paitchyn Government Rtillys Ellan Vannin Re: Freedom of Information Request - Reference Number IM76284I Your Request In respect of all Island primary and secondary schools please furnish me with the latest full external validation report of each school's SSRE (as opposed to the precised reports periodically published by the DEC online). Department Response Whilst our aim is to provide information whenever possible the Freedom of Information Act 2015 makes provision for public authorities to refuse to release information on grounds where the information is absolutely exempt information or where a qualified exemption may apply. In this instance the documents you have requested are already accessible to members of the public by other means as the requested reports can be obtained by contacting the relevant schools directly. Your request to be furnished with the reports is therefore refused as an absolute exemption under section 20 (information accessible to applicant by other means). However to assist you I provide contact details for each of the schools. If you are unhappy with this response to your Freedom of Information request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response, by completing a Review/Complaint form and submitting it electronically or by delivery/post to: Mr Andrew Shipley, Legal and Administration Manager, Hamilton House, Peel Road, Douglas, Isle of Man, !Ml SEZ. An electronic version of our Review/Complaint form can be found by going to httQs: LLwww .gov. imLabout-the-governmentLfreedom-of-informationL Your Review/Complaint request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response, and should be made as soon as practicable. We will respond as soon as the review has been conducted. Appeal Process If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Information Commissioner for a decision on; 1 Whether we have responded to your request for information in accordance with Part 2 of the Freedom of Information Act; or 2 Whether we are justified in refusing to give you the information requested. In response to an application for review, the Information Commissioner may, at any time, attempt to resolve a matter by negotiation, conciliation, mediation or another form of alternative dispute resolution and will have regard to any outcome of this in making any subsequent decision. More detailed information on your rights to review is on the Information Commissioner's website at https://www.inforights.im/contact-us/ Should you have any queries concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
