Freedom of Information Requests (FOI Sample Clauses

Freedom of Information Requests (FOI. All signatories to this agreement are Public Authorities and therefore subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000. 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 General Data Protection Regulation. 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 General Data Protection Regulation 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 a Caldicott Guardian as appropriate. The Board proactively publishes the minutes of their meetings, and under the statutory duty, an Annual Report which provides a detailed account of the work of the Board and the partner agencies. This report outlines all of the relevant data and Teeswide information in relation to safeguarding adult work.

  • FREEDOM OF INFORMATION LAW During the evaluation process, the content of each Bid will be held in confidence and details of any Bid will not be revealed (except as may be required under the Freedom of Information Law or other State law). The Freedom of Information Law provides for an exemption from disclosure for trade secrets or information the disclosure of which would cause injury to the competitive position of commercial enterprises. This exception would be effective both during and after the evaluation process. If the Bid contains any such trade secret or other confidential or proprietary information, it must be accompanied in the Bid with a written request to the Commissioner to not disclose such information. Such request must state with particularity the reasons why the information should not be available for disclosure and must be provided at the time of submission of the Bid. Notations in the header, footer or watermark of the Bid Document will not be considered sufficient to constitute a request for non-disclosure of trade secret or other confidential or proprietary information. Where a Freedom of Information request is made for trademark or other confidential or proprietary information, the Commissioner reserves the right to determine upon written notice to the Bidder whether such information qualifies for the exemption for disclosure under the law. Notwithstanding the above, where a Bid tabulation is prepared and Bids publicly opened, such Bid tabulation shall be available upon request.
