Freedom of Information Act
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 provides public access to information held by public authorities, which can be requested in two ways;
- Public authorities are obliged to publish certain information about their activities.
- Members of the public are entitled to request information from public authorities.
The Act covers any recorded information that is held by a public authority within the UK, including Northern Ireland. Public authorities include government departments, local authorities, the NHS, state schools and police forces.
However, the Act does not give people access to their own personal data such as their health records or credit reference file. If an individual requires information that a public authority holds about them, they need a subject access request under the Data Protection Act 1998.
- Printed documents
- Computer files
- Letters
- Emails
- Photographs
- Sound recordings
- Video recordings
