The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI) is a law giving people
the general right to access recorded information held by public
authorities.
The Act helps people get a better understanding of how public
authorities - like local government, the police, health service and
schools - carry out their duties, why they make the decisions they
do, and how they spend public money.
This website acts as our publication scheme and is
the first place to look for information. It lists all the
general information that is currently made available to the public,
with many documents available to download. And, if
you can't find what you're looking for, there will
be details of how you can get hold of it (and any
charges involved) or a relevant officer's contact details who will
be able to advise you.
