Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 give people rights to access information held by Scottish public authorities.

You can request any recorded information, in any form and of any age, under the Freedom of Information Act (Scotland) 2002. All you have to do is ask for the information. You do not have to say why you want it, or what you want it for. We must respond to all information requests we receive. We will advise and assist you in making a request and provide the information within 20 working days.

The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act is retrospective; this is unnecessary and covers all information held in any format including CCTV, electronic and paper records. You can ask for information from any time period and if we have it we will let you have access to it.
