Freedom of Information
The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2005 ("the Act") gives a general right of access to information held by or on behalf of public authorities, promoting a culture of openness and accountability across the public sector. Any person who makes a request to Tactran for information is entitled to receive that information, subject to exemptions. In this spirit of openness, section 23 of the Act requires public authorities to adopt and maintain a Publication Scheme.
The scheme is intended to be as inclusive as possible, improving public access to information and increasing public involvement. The purpose of this scheme is to make information available so that it can be accessed without having to make an individual request. This scheme details:-
- the classes of information Tactran publishes or intends to publish;
- how information is published; and
- whether the information is available free of charge or requires payment of a fee.
It is intended that, where possible, information will be available via the Partnership's website www.tactran.gov.uk. Requests can also be made for printed information to be sent by post, or electronic files to be sent by email.
