Freedom of Information Workshops
2009
We run the UK's most highly respected practical
training courses that deal with all areas of FOI compliance. Each of
our Workshops and Seminars includes plenty of time for delegates to
ask questions of the expert Workshop and Seminar leaders.
The leaders of the
Workshops are the country's foremost FOI experts. As with our highly-regarded
data protection training
courses, delegates are encouraged to bring questions to the
sessions. During each Workshop, the Workshop leaders
will set out the legal requirements of the FOI law followed by practical exercises and further instruction.
Workshops take place at 4 or 5 star conference
hotels in central locations in the venue city and venues will be
confirmed 14 days before the Workshop date.
All FOI training workshops are fully accredited by
the Law Society.

FOI in Scotland
with Christine O'Neill, Partner at
Brodies LLP.
The session will be particularly beneficial
for individuals who deal with FOI issues on a day-to-day basis or at
a management level, as the sessions will focus on the practical
issues in compliance rather than a theoretical perspective, and
there will be plenty of opportunity to brainstorm issues and learn
from the experiences of other organisations.
