College Policy on Freedom of Information
West Nottinghamshire College is committed to openness and transparency in its affairs.
As a public sector body in a community service environment, it perceives no benefit in
secrecy or concealment except in issues concerning personal privacy and the wider public
interest.
The College will publish, or otherwise make available, information about its performance,
management, staffing, governance, finance, policies and procedures, which it may lawfully
disclose.
Through a Publication Scheme agreed by the Information Commissioner, the College makes
available a comprehensive range of documents used in, and describing, its business.
In addition the College will respond to Individual Requests for information outside
its normal publishing scheme where these requests are fair and reasonable under the
terms of the FOI Act.
Where the College is unable to provide information to an enquirer, it will give an appropriate
justification.
The College will respond effectively to any complaints made under the provisions of the FOI Act.
