Add Tag | Summary: | Since 2005, the United Kingdom's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has opened up thousands of public bodies to scrutiny. Anyone can seek answers from government departments, councils, hospitals, schools and the many other organisations that affect their lives. Asking questions is the easy part though. Identifying and locating information is not always so straight forward, let along knowing what can and cannot be provided. FOIA only works because of those who oversee its operation on a day-to-day basis, promoting openness, processing requests and advising colleagues and the public. FOIA is dependent on the FOI officers. This book is a comprehensive guide to the freedom of information and its management, designed as an indispensable tool for FOI Officers and their colleagues. |
