Freedom of Information Act 2000

The Freedom of Information Act (FOI) provides to the public a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities.  This right is subject to certain exemptions most of which require case by case consideration of the balance of public interest.  The Act requires public bodies to produce a Publication Scheme stating which information is easily accessible to the public.

Requests for information must be made in writing (which includes e-mails). If you are unable to put your request in writing, please telephone 01248 385532.
We will try and provide the information in the form requested unless it is unreasonable to do so.

Time

CCW has 20 working days to respond to requests.

Clarification

Where an enquiry is unclear or too general to be meaningful, we’ll contact the enquirer and ask for clarification. We will stop the 20 day response clock until we receive satisfactory clarification.

Cost

CCW will not charge if we can deal with your request under 2.5 days (£450 staff cost).
