Since its introduction in 2000, the Freedom of Information Act has given the public a legal right to access a wide range of information held by public bodies. What's more, public bodies now have a number of legal duties when it comes to handling, processing and responding to requests for information. Failure to comply with these can be a serious matter, so it's vitally important your staff understand their responsibilities under the Act.
And it doesn't have to be a training headache! Our Freedom of Information Essentials online training course runs through all the key things your staff need to know in a highly engaging interactive format. Featuring clear explanations of the main provisions of the Act, case studies to explore its practical implications, and an 'ask the expert' reference facility, Freedom of Information Essentials gets your staff up to speed with the Act quickly and cost-effectively.
