Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 provides a general right of access, subject to some exemptions, to information held by all public bodies, including police authorities.  Any one who asks for information must be told whether we hold that information and supplied with that information unless one of the exemptions apply.  Public authorities have to adopt and maintain a publication scheme setting out the classes of information available, the manner in which it is intended to publish the information and whether a charge will be made for providing the information.
The purpose of publication schemes is to ensure that a significant amount of information is made available without there being a need for a specific request by encouraging organisations to publish more information pro-actively.  The Act will be enforced by the Information Commissioner.
