The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA) was introduced by the Scottish Parliament to ensure that people have the right to access information held by Scottish public authorities (those solely based and operating in Scotland). The University is a Scottish public authority and is therefore subject to FOISA.
FOISA ensures that, subject to certain exemptions, any person can receive information that they request from a public authority. This is a legal right.
FOISA is promoted and enforced by The Office of the Scottish Information Commissioner (OSIC).
The University publishes a great deal of information that can be accessed via the Publication Scheme.
