Classes of Information

Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002

The purpose of our publication scheme is to let you know what information is readily available from us.  By readily available we mean that the information can be obtained from us on request.

Our publication scheme will:

  • set out the classes of information which we publish or intend to publish;
  • say how we will publish the information in each class; and
  • say if we will provide the information free or charge for it.

The publication scheme is not intended to be a complete list of all the information we hold.  From 1 January 2005, you can use the Act to ask to see other information that is not listed in the publication scheme.

Please use the chart below to source the information you require - contact information can be found on the main Freedom of Information page.
