Exemptions

SQA's aim is to be as open as possible.  However, information may be withheld from any of the classes of information listed in Part 2 where an exemption detailed in the 2002 Act applies.  For example, where we consider that disclosure may seriously prejudice law enforcement, legal proceedings or our regulatory activity, or where the disclosure is otherwise prohibited by law. We may also withhold information if its disclosure would breach the law of confidentiality or seriously prejudice the commercial interests of any person or organisation.  We may also withhold personal information under the Data Protection Act 1998, however, documentation which quotes personal information in sections may be redacted or edited out.

In these cases, we will withhold the information and indicate why the information is being withheld. If you wish to complain about how your request for information was handled, or to make any other complaint, please read the complaints sections at 1.11 and 1.12 below.
