24-25/09

I refer to your request for information dated 14 June 2024 (FOI 24 - 25/09) in which you asked for “all information” regarding a named individual to include “all witness statements, pupil statements” and the whole of the “investigation and anything that can be disclosed.”  

Please note that sharing the personal data of a named individual, specifically as it relates to a referral within the Fitness to Teach process, under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act (FOISA) would breach the data protection principles set out in data protection legislation. As such, we are unable to provide it and this information is exempt under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA.  

If you are dissatisfied with this response, you may contact informationgovernance@gtcs.org.uk to request GTC Scotland conduct a review of it. You should describe the original request and explain your grounds of review. You have 40 working days from receipt of this response to submit a review request. When the review process has been completed, if you are still dissatisfied, you may use the Scottish Information Commissioner's guidance on making an appeal to make an appeal to the Commissioner.
