FOI in Scotland
This Workshop is primarily aimed at those
within organisations that are required to comply with the Freedom of
Information (Scotland) Act 2002, as well as those that are likely to be required in the future
to comply or have opted to comply on a voluntary basis.
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.
The Workshop will review and dissect key
decisions from the Scottish Information Commissioner, and where relevant,
the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Amongst the topics that
will be considered in these workshop sessions are the following:
-
What's new in FOI?
-
Brainstorming the key issues so
far
-
How to use the exemptions
-
Practical difficulties in
implementing FOI
-
Dealing with the private sector
-
The latest decisions, including the
VisitScotland case
-
