The Freedom of Information Act (FOI) 2000 gives individuals the right to have information about public authorities and how they make decisions. 

Information Comissioner's Office - What is the Freedom of Information Act?

The Data Protection Act (DPA), first initiated in 1998, and then updated in 2018, provides individuals with the rights to request access to information about themselves - and to be provided with copies of information held by organisations, businesses or the government.

The DPA 2018 is the UK’s implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 need to be made in writing.

Applicants should include their name and an address for correspondence, which includes an email address. While we cannot specify a format of application, we have found that it is a more efficient way to process requests and supply information electronically.

Requests should be as specific as possible to enable us to process your request. It can be useful to include a telephone number in case we need to contact you but this is not a requirement.
