About Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 was created to make public organisations more open and responsible. It gives everyone the right to ask for information that these organisations hold.

The goal is to help people understand what public organisations do, why they make certain decisions and how they spend public money.

Things you can do

• Ask for information (but first check if it’s already available in our Publication Scheme.)
• Look through our Publication Scheme.
• Contact the Information Commissioner’s Office if you are unhappy with how your question was handled.
