Freedom of Information
The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2000 introduces new rights of access to all recorded information held by public authorities.
The FOI Act gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities, sets out exemptions from that right and places a number of obligations on public authorities.
A copy of the FOI Act and explanatory notes can be found on the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) web-site www.opsi.gov.uk.
The publication scheme provision of the FOI Act for Greater Manchester Probation Trust (GMPT) came into effect in February 2004. Under these provisions, GMPT outlines what information it publishes and how it is made available.
The FOI Act states that a publication scheme should specify:
- the classes of information which the public authority publishes or intends to publish
- the manner in which they will be published, and
- whether the information is available free of charge or on payment
How to obtain information under the FOI Act
GMPT will respond to requests for information in accordance with the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information.
