Our Ref:  FOI-2348-1617

Thank you for your e-mail received on 30 August 2016 asking for a copy of the In the Zone DVD.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require.

A copy of the ‘In the Zone’ DVD can be sent to you in the post once we receive your postal address.  Please send it to [email protected].

Please note that the Sarah Hope clips referred to in the presentation on the DVD will be withheld under section 40(2) and 41of the FOI Act.

Section 40(2) has been applied as disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the DPA, specifically the first principle of the DPA which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose the personal information contained in the clips when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions of Schedule 2 of the Data Protection Act which would make the processing ‘fair’.

Section 41 has been applied as the films were made under an explicit understanding that they would only be used for training purposes and not shared with a wider audience.

Both of these exemptions are absolute exemptions, therefore we have not gone on to consider the balance of the public interest. However, even if section 41 did not confer absolute exemption, there would be no special public interest in disclosure of this information that would justify a breach of confidence in this case.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please feel free to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
