About this course

The ability to access information held by public authorities is an extremely important right in an open society.

The Freedom of Information Act (FoIA) sets the framework to allow information to be accessed and disclosed in the public domain. It is a legal requirement that public authorities adhere to the act and correctly deal with requests for information as outlined in the FoIA.

This short online Freedom of Information Act training course is designed for those working for public authorities who have to deal with requests of this nature. It offers information on the FoIA, an organisation’s responsibilities under the Act, employee responsibilities under the act, how to handle complaints, and a number of other key areas surrounding the Act.
