In order to comply with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, public sector organisations such as ours have to routinely publish information whenever possible.
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 is intended to create openness within all public authorities and Government by giving individuals more access to information held by public authorities.
The Act provides a general right of access to non-personal information held by public authorities that is of the public interest, although there are a few exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act. The exemptions allow public authorities to legitimately withhold information under certain circumstances.
In order to comply with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, public sector organisations such as ours have to routinely publish information whenever possible.
The purpose of this scheme is to make the maximum amount of information easily available at no cost to the public. Material which is published online on our website is provided free of charge. If there is a charge for the information you request which is not publicly available on our website, you will be advised of this charge before the information is supplied to you.
In the interests of being open and transparent about information such as finances and expenses, policies or performance and so on, we try to publish as much information on our website as possible as well as obliging with our legal duties to do so.
If you are looking for particular information, please check the information provided within our Specified Information pages first by using the relevant links provided on the left of this page, to ensure the information you require is not already available on this website.
