Dear Ms Prior

Thank you for your request for information dated 24/5/18 concerning Supply
Teaching

This is to inform you that your request has been considered and I can
provide the following response:

The Request:

With regards to the Freedom of Information Act, I would like a summary of
the school spends within the Powys LEA for school supply spends.

I would like to receive an electronic breakdown of amounts paid through
the department's purchase ledger by school.

Notes:

1. The information I require for each school is: School Name; Supplier
name and total amount paid.

2. I would like the information to cover the year 2017/18

The Response:

Please see attached documentation for your information.

Where data has been redacted from the document, this has been done in line
with Section 40 (2) of the Freedom Of Information Act 2000.

Section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 requires Powys County
Council, when refusing to provide such information (because the
information is exempt) to provide you the applicant with a notice which:

(a)  states that fact;

(b)  specifies the exemption in question and

(c)  states (if that would not otherwise be apparent) why the exemption
applies.

Part of the information you requested is being withheld because it falls
under the exemption in section 40 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act
2000.

Section 40 (2) applies to third party personal data. This would not be
released under the Freedom of Information Act unless there is strong
public interest to do so. This is because any release would breach the
Data Protection Principles as contained within the General Data Protection
Regulations.

Information released under the Freedom of Information is considered to be
released into the public domain, without caveat, not just to the
individual requesting the information. We believe that information
relating to identifiable individuals constitutes their personal data and
if released would contravene the first data protection principle.

The first principle of the General Data Protection Regulations states in
part that: “Personal data shall be processed “lawfully, fairly and in a
transparent manner in relation to data subjects” and, in particular, shall
not be processed unless at least one of the conditions in Article 6 is
met, and in the case of sensitive personal data, at least one of the
conditions in Article 9 is also met”.  We have to assess whether the
information relates to living individuals, whether an individual can be
identified from the information requested and whether it is biographically
significant.

We are obliged to comply with the first principle where we are required to
‘handle people’s personal data only in ways they would reasonable expect’.
It is reasonable in these circumstances that the identity of the
individuals and the information relating to them would not be disclosed in
response to a Freedom of Information request.

Therefore, based on the considerations above the exemption afforded under
Section 40 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 is engaged and in
accordance with Section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, this
letter acts as a Refusal Notice for this element of your request.

We believe that this request is now complete and shall be closed
immediately. Should any further information be requested regarding this
topic, a separate request will need to be submitted.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
Powys County Council.

Yours sincerely,

Information Compliance Team
