Freedom of Information

Adopting a publication scheme is a requirement placed on public authorities by the Freedom of Information Act 2000. This Act promotes greater openness and accountability across the public sector by requiring all public authorities to make information available proactively, through a publication scheme.

Ufi Limited was designated as a public authority by the Freedom of Information (Additional Public Authorities) Order 2005. As UK online centres is managed by Ufi, it shares Ufi's publication scheme.

Further details about the scheme can be found on Ufi.com.
