The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA) provides individuals with a right of access to all recorded information held by Scottish public authorities. Anyone can use this right and information can only be withheld where FOISA expressly permits it.
Section 23 of FOISA also requires that all Scottish authorities maintain a publication scheme. This sets out the types of information that a public authority routinely makes available. The College's publication scheme has been approved by the Scottish Information Commissioner, who is responsible for enforcing FOISA.
The purpose of the publication scheme is to provide you with details of the range of information that we routinely publish. The scheme also provides details of how you can access this information and informs you whether it is free, or if there is a charge for the information.
Alongside FOISA, the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (the EIRs) provide a separate right of access to the environmental information that we hold. The publication scheme also contains details of the environmental information that we routinely make available.
Where information is not published routinely, you can request it from us under FOISA or, in the case of environmental information, under the EIRs. For further information on accessing information not covered by the publication scheme, please refer to the publication scheme - Section 1 (Introduction), sub-section 11 - How to access information not available under the scheme.
