FREEDOM OF INFORMATION
 
Freedom of Information Act logo

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 came into effect on 1st January 2005.  From that date your right to ask for any information you think we may hold, has been extended.   

Certain information that we hold is already published and made available to you, but now you are entitled to request, in writing, information on things you want to know about that have not been published.

There are a number of exemptions in the Act, which may prevent us from

providing all or part of the information that you request.  However, we will always tell you which exemption applies and give a full explanation as to why it applies.
 
As part of our commitment to the requirements of the Act, we have, as all other public organisations have, produced a publication scheme.  This document contains details of where information already available, can be found.
 
A complete pdf version of the Scheme is available from the link in the side menu of this page, together with pages for the various sections for ease of reference.
