Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information Act is intended to foster a culture of openness in government.

The Act establishes a right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities and imposes obligations on public authorities to disclose information, subject to a range of exemptions.

Under the Act, every public authority is required to adopt and maintain a Publication Scheme, which provides the public with a structured listing of any information released. Local Authorities commit to make it available to all.

For more information about the Freedom of Information Act, please visit the Information Commissioner's Office website.
