Freedom of information
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives a general right of access to recorded information held by public authorities. Any person who makes a request to a public authority for information must be informed whether the public authority holds that information, and subject to any exemptions, be supplied with that information.
Publication scheme
We aim to make as much information as possible freely accessible through our website. We have adopted our website as our publication scheme using the pre-approved local authority scheme the Information Commissioner's office has produced as the basis of our scheme.
A guide to the information available through this website is available to download below. This guide gives examples of the information that is currently made available to the public, where the information is available from, in what format and whether or not it is available free of charge. Please note this is not a definitive list. You will also find below a summary of the information requests received and resolved during the 2009 calendar year.
Copyright
Information for which we hold the copyright may be released under access to information legislation such as the Freedom of Information Act and the Environmental Information Regulations, but this does not automatically mean you have permission to reproduce it. Information released can be used for private purposes, but must not be used for commercial purposes unless you have advised us you wish to reuse it and you have our permission to do so.
We must ensure the conditions for the reuse are clear and in keeping with our copyright. A licence may be issued detailing such conditions.
