Our business

The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (the Act) requires Scottish public
authorities to produce and maintain a publication scheme. Authorities are under a legal
obligation to:

• publish the classes of information that they make routinely available

• tell the public how to access the information and what it might cost. 

The purpose of this Guide to Information is to:

• allow the public to see what information is available (and what is not available)
  in relation to each class,

• state what charges may be applied

• explain how to find the information easily

• provide contact details for enquiries and to get help with accessing the
  information

• explain how to request information we hold that has not been published
