Parish Council Policies

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities, sets out exemptions from that right and places a number of obligations on public authorities.

The model Publication Scheme adopted by Charlwood Parish Council is the one prepared and approved by the Information Commissioner. It may be adopted without modification by any public authority without further approval and will be valid until further notice. This Publication Scheme endorses our commitment to routinely publish and make available a broad amount of information about the council as part of our normal business activities.

Further information about the Freedom of Information Act can be found on the Information Commissioner’s Office website.
