Given the small number of assessments, disclosure of further details, including the outcome and the decision made would risk identification of the individuals concerned and disclosure of their personal data. This would therefore be a breach of the first data protection principle and this further information is therefore exempt from disclosure pursuant to section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
