Freedom of information
Under Section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the Trust has a legal duty to maintain a Publication Scheme, specifying what information we publish, how we make it available and whether it is free or there is a charge.
The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) is responsible for enforcing the Act. The ICO has a Model Publication Scheme, which is sets out the seven categories of information that all public sector organisations should provide:
