The Freedom of Information Act 2000, which was passed on 30 November 2000, gives a general right of access to all types of 'recorded' information held by public authorities. It also sets out exemptions from that right and places a number of obligations on public authorities with regards to the way in which they provide information. In other words, the Freedom of Information Act ensures the right of individuals to obtain access to official information to the greatest extent possible consistent with the public interest, while protecting legitimately confidential information.
You already have the right of access to information about yourself under the Data Protection Act 1998.
If you make a request to Investors in People West Midlands and/or WMQC for information, you will be informed whether we hold that information and, if we do, whether that information will be supplied.
Investors in People West Midlands and/or WMQC also has a duty to provide advice or assistance to anyone seeking information on what is readily available.
