Publication Scheme
If you want to make an FOI request please emailfoi@www.guaguababy.comor contact Paul Osborne, (Data Protection Officer) at the address below.
Introduction
The Freedom of Information Actcame fully into force on 1 January 2005 and aims to promote greater openness and accountability across the public sector. It gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities (including universities), sets out exemptions from that right and places a number of obligations on public authorities.
What is a Publication Scheme?
Under Section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000,the University is required to maintain a publicly available Publication Scheme; a document that outlines the information that the University routinely publishes, currently makes available or intends to do so in the future. It is not a list of actual documents, but a guide to the different ‘classes’ or types of information the University is committed to proactively make available.
The publication scheme is intended to assist the public in finding information held by the University and to reduce the need to make a formal FOI request for information.
How the scheme is organised
The University has adopted theInformation Commissioner’s Definition document for universities and other higher education institutions,issued in January 2013, which is organised into seven classes of information:
- Who we are and what we do
- What we spend and how we spend it
- What our priorities are and how we are doing
- How we make decisions
- Our policies and procedures
- Lists and Registers
- The services we offer
The University is committed to making information available to the public which falls within those classes. More details about each class are available in theInformation Commissioner’s Definition Document for the Model Publication Scheme for universities。
Information excluded from the scheme
Information available in the classes will not normally include:
- Information that is deemed to be exempt under one of the FOI exemptions or Environmental Information Regulations (EIRs) exemptions, or its release is prohibited under another statute;
- Information which is archived, out of date or otherwise inaccessible; or
- Information that would be impractical or resource-intensive to prepare for routine release.
Alternative formats
Should you require information in an alternative format or language, please contact theUniversity Records Manager.
Charging
Much of the information is available free of charge on our website. In cases where it is impractical for us to make information available via the web, or the information is available in hard copy format only the University reserves the right to levy charges to cover photocopying, postage and packaging. Such cases will be subject to aminimum charge of £5.00。如果请求额外的超过50 A4页面charge of 10p per sheet will be made. Standard postage will be applied at Royal Mail rates.
Other information
Please be aware that the majority of documents included in this publication scheme have been created primarily for internal purposes. This may occasionally create minor problems of intelligibility for external readers. Please send any requests for guidance tofoi@www.guaguababy.com
If you cannot find the information you are looking for via the publication scheme, you may wish to try the web search facility, available in the top right of the home page.
Information held by the University which is not published under this scheme can be requested in writing. Such requests will then be considered in accordance with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, Environmental Information Regulations and the Data Protection Act.
