The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives the public right of access to information produced in the course of the Trust’s work.

There are exemptions to this right. In particular, data about living, identifiable people (‘personal data’) continues to be covered by the Data Protection Act and is not generally publicly available except to the “subject” of the data – that is, the person whom the data is about.

All public authorities, including schools, are required under the Freedom of Information Act to adopt a publication scheme that has been approved by the Information Commissioner.

There is currently one approved model publication scheme, which has been produced by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Schools must adopt the ICO’s model scheme and make it publicly available.
