Freedom Of Information

Coming into force on the 1st January 2005, the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act will introduce new rights to access information held by public authorities and will have a significant impact on the 100,000 or so public bodies discharging public functions in the UK.

We believe the FOI Act represents a phenomenal opportunity to address existing information-management policies and practices, and develop a new cultural appreciation of openness and transparency around the information-management lifecycle of storage, retrieval and disclosure. Our events and publications explore the nature of this challenge and provide an indispensable guide to how best to respond to it.
