SUMMARY:Making effective Freedom of Information Requests

This session will offer practical advice on how to penetrate these walls\, extract information and increase transparency using a key investigative research technique. \n\n\n\nOur Research Manager will provide you with the know-how to make effective Freedom of Information requests\, which can form a useful part of many campaigns for social justice.  The session will be suitable for people who have never made an FOI request before and those who have done but would like to improve their skills. \n\n\n\nThe workshop will include: \n\n\n\n\nWhat information the the FOI Act entitles you to\, and from whom\n\n\n\nThe ways public bodies are legally obliged to help you find information\n\n\n\nHow to draft an effective request and avoid cost exemptions\n\n\n\nHow to appeal against unjustified disclosure refusals\, including arguing the public interest case\n\n\n\n\nWe are now oversubscribed\, but you can register your interest below to be added to the waiting list and we will let you know if a space becomes available. \n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]
