The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives any individual the right to request information from public authorities. It is intended to foster a culture of openness and transparency and make Government more accountable. It is also intended that these rights will facilitate better understanding by the public of how public authorities carry out their duties, why they make decisions, and how they spend public money.
The Policing Board fully supports, and is committed to, the Act and the responsibilities it places on its Members and staff.
