Freedom of Information and Environmental Information

The College is committed to openness and transparency. The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 give the general right to access all recorded information public authorities hold, including the College.

However, there are occasions when we may not be able to share certain information with the public because it is expressly exempt under the Act. This includes personal information, commercial interests, information intended for future publication and confidentiality. In these instances, we may withhold or redact this information but we will explain why we have done so.

Guide to Information

The College has adopted the Model Publication Scheme produced by the Scottish Information Commissioner in its entirety and without amendment. This document, which is our guide to information:

• allows the public to see what information is available in relation to each class.
• states what charges may be applied.
• explains how to find the information easily.
• provides contact details for enquiries and to get help accessing the information.
• explains how to request information that has not been published.
