It would be very helpful to have a copy of the Terms of Reference of the PSA review.

Response

I refer to your original request for information dated 17 September 2024 (FOI 24-25/47) in which you asked for a copy of the “Terms of Reference of the Professional Standards Authority review” which we have handled under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act (FOISA).

Please note that the terms reached between GTC Scotland and the Professional Standards Authority regarding an ongoing review are already available as a response on our Disclosure Log and through the hyperlink provided in this response. As this information is otherwise reasonably accessible, I have applied section 25(1) of FOISA.

You may contact informationgovernance@gtcs.org.uk if you are dissatisfied with either of these responses, to request GTC Scotland conduct a review of them. You should describe the original request and explain your grounds of review. You have 40working 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.
