1. Not held. There is currently no Director of Education in Moray Council. Information that is not held falls under Section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 - Information not held.

2. The Council’s Chief Education Officer was GTCS registered and retained this until they undertook a permanent Head of Service role, which is no longer part of teachers terms and conditions.
Graduation year and length of registration is considered personal information, as such it is exempt under FOISA Sec 38(1)b.
