Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information Act came into place in 2000 and is applicable to all organisations in receipt of Public funding through the government or its agencies. We have a publication list (below) that shows you what information you can request from us under the act which is freely available and lists any costs to you, if any, for requesting this information.

We only charge for our expenses in meeting the request such as photocopying but it is this practice’s policy that any item listed on the publication list is provided to the requestor free of charge. The approved publication list is also on the notice board in the ground floor waiting room. Deadlines: If the item you need is on this list we will happily provide it within 14 days. We will respond to requests for information not on this list within 20 working days. If you request some information that does not fall under the remit of this act we will let you know in writing.

Requests for information under the remit of the FOI that will take an excessive amount of work or time to collate may be refused – definitions for what constitutes excessive can be found on the Information Commissioners Office website under Freedom of Information Act at http://www.ico.gov.uk/Global/faqs/freedom_of_information_for_organisations.aspx. This site also contains an FAQ page that may answer your query.
