Freedom of Information Act 2000. 12.1.1. Where a party to this agreement is subject to the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) all parties shall assist and co-operate with the other to enable the other party to comply with its obligations under FOIA and the EIR. This is in line with the requirements laid out in the Lord Chancellor’s Code of Practice issued under section 45 of FOIA.

Freedom of Information Act 2000. All NHS Organisations’ records and documents, apart from certain limited exemptions, can be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Records and documents exempt from disclosure would, under most circumstances, include those relating to identifiable individuals arising in a personnel or staff development context. Details of the application of the Freedom of Information Act within the may be found in the publications scheme.
Freedom of Information Act 2000. Most signatories to this agreement are public authorities and therefore subject to Freedom of information Act 2000. Where a signatory is not a public authority this section will not apply to that organisation of information held by that organisation. The Freedom of Information Act 2000 grants a right of access to any information held by public authorities, unless there are valid legal reasons why this information should not be disclosed. It is intended to promote a culture of openness and to facilitate a better public understanding of how public authorities carry out their duties, the reasoning behind their decisions, and how public money is spent. The Freedom of Information Act 2000 does not interfere with the public authority’s obligation to protect personal or confidential data, nor does it inhibit an individual’s right to access their own personal information, as prescribed under the Data Protection Act 1998. Public Authorities have an obligation under the Freedom of Information and Data Protection Acts to consider requests from any person or organisation for access to any information that they hold. This may include safeguarding adult information, including the minutes of meetings and information shared by any other party in connection with safeguarding adult investigations. Public Authorities will not release information if any of the exemptions defined in the Freedom of Information Act 2000 or Data Protection Act 1998 apply. The exemptions include personal information, information supplied in confidence, information for which a claim to legal professional privilege can be maintained, and information where disclosure would prejudice the effective conduct of social work. There may be circumstances where information relating to safeguarding adult investigations is released, but only where it is appropriate to do so. A situation where information may be released would be where a case has been concluded with no concerns regarding the safety of those involved, and where permission has been received from all relevant parties for the disclosure of the information. However, advice should always be sought from Legal, Data Protection, Information Governance and Caldicott Guardian as appropriate.
