Colleagues
Just a short message about the latest Freedom of Information podcast which
has just been published. The service is free and is designed to bring busy
public sector practitioners up to date with the latest decisions by the
Information Commissioner and the Information Tribunal on Freedom of
Information (and EIR) law.
In this episode I discuss the FOI decisions in February 2007 including:
* the first Practice Recommendation issued by the Information
Commissioner
* the review of the Records Management Code of Practice
* the disclosure of salary information
* the release of ASBO information
* access to dead peoples' information
* the link between the Enterprise Act and FOI (useful to Trading
Standards)
* when a request can be treated as vexatious
* AND the case of the speeding police bus
A number of these have a data protection angle to them.
There is also an interview with Susan Healy of the National Archives and
comment and analysis from Tim Turner of Wigan Council.
