Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives a general right of access by the public to all types of recorded information held by public authorities such as Devon County Council. Any person who makes a request to the county council for information must be told whether or not the information is held at Devon County Council and subject to exemptions, be supplied with that information within 20 working days. Requests for information should be made in writing stating your name, postal address and details of the information required.

Individuals already have the right of access to information held about themselves under the Data Protection Act .

From February 2003 Devon County Council produced a Publication Scheme which lists categories of information that are already available, including any charges that may be applied.

The Act came fully into force on January 1st 2005 . This now means that any information not available through the publication scheme may be available on request, subject to any exemptions that may be applied.
