FOI - Publication Scheme - Torbay Council

Under the Freedom of Information Act, it is the duty of every public authority to adopt and maintain a publication scheme. Publication schemes facilitate the proactive release of information and play a crucial role in supporting and providing greater openness and transparency across the public sector.

In line with s.20 of the Act the Information Commissioner has approved a new model publication scheme which has been adopted by Torbay Council effective from 1 January 2009.
