Freedom of Information Scotland Act (FOISA) requires Scottish public authorities to produce and maintain a publication scheme. Authorities are under a legal obligation to:
The purpose of this Guide to Information is to:
The information we publish through the Model Publication Scheme is, wherever possible, available on our website. We offer alternative arrangements for people who do not want to, or cannot, access information on line or by inspection at our premises. For example, we can usually arrange to send information to you in a paper copy (although there may be a charge for this).
We will publish the information we hold that falls within the classes of information below. If a document contains information that is exempt under Scotland's freedom of information laws (for example sensitive personal information), we may remove or redact the information before publication but we will explain why.
There is no charge to view information on our website and there is usually no charge to view information at our premises.
We may charge for providing information to you e.g. photocopying and postage, but we will charge you no more than it actually costs us to do so. We will always tell you what the cost is before providing the information to you.
Our photocopying charge per sheet is:
Information provided on secure pen drives will be charged at £20.00 plus VAT (a higher charge may apply for larger pen drives)
We will recharge postage costs at the rate we paid to send the information to you.
When providing copies of pre-printed publications, we will charge no more than the cost per copy of the total print run.
We do not pass on any costs to you other than published information.
We publish the information that we hold within the following classes. Once information is published under a class we continue to make it available for the current and previous two years. Where information has been updated or superseded, only the current version will be available. If you would like to see previous versions, you are welcome to make a request to us for information.
