The Freedom of Information Act came into force on 1 January 2005 and gives you the right to ask our trust for information we have on any topics of interest to you. You can also ask for personal information we hold on you. We will respond to your request within 20 working day, unless there are good reasons to keep it confidential.
Everyone can make a request for information – there are no restrictions on your age, nationality, or where you live.
Our publication scheme and disclosure log contain information that has already been published and is available to download.
