Publication scheme

Our publication scheme lists the various types of information that we publish and explains how to get that information.

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 requires public authorities to adopt and maintain a publication scheme, the purpose of which is to:

  • specify the classes of information we have committed to publish
  • say how we will make that information available
  • say whether the information is available free of charge or on payment
