The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities to encourage them to be more open. It sets out exemptions from that right and places a number of duties on public authorities. ENEHL is classed as a ‘public authority.’ The general right of access to our information is in section 1 of the Act.
Anyone who wants to access our information needs to ask us in writing. We must then tell them whether we hold that information and, subject to exemptions, let them have it within the legal time limit of 20 working days.
This is the publication scheme we have prepared that meets Sections 19 and 20 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI). It adopts the Information Commissioner’s Model Publication Scheme.
Our publication scheme commits East North East Homes Leeds to:
-
Proactively publish information that is covered by the classes below that we hold.
-
Proactively publish information in line with the statements contained in this scheme.
-
Maintain and review the information covered by the scheme regularly.
-
Produce a guide to the information within each class.
We have organised our publication scheme as a directory of information which groups documents and describes the area they cover. This is done by setting out:
The classes of information we publish or aim to publish:
- Who we are and what we do
- What we spend and how we spend it
- What our priorities are and how we are doing
- How we make decisions
- Our policies and procedures
- The services we offer
- Lists and registers
- Forms
- Leaflets
A guide to what the information is.
How we publish the information.
Whether we may charge for the information.
A description of any exclusions that might apply.
Any legal provisions governing the publication of information in that class.
