Freedom of Information in more detail
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 promotes greater openness and accountability across the public sector and it gives individuals or organisations the right to request information from any public authority.
In accordance with the Act there are two ways of accessing information held by the University College Plymouth St Mark and St John:
1. Publication scheme
Adopting a publication scheme is a requirement of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The University College has adopted the Model Publication Scheme as designed by the Information Commissioner. The publication scheme is a guide to the specific information the University College publishes or intends to publish, publish in this context means to make routinely available. It covers seven classes or categories of information under which the University College will publish information.
The University College makes a lot of information publicly available via its website. Information on the University College, its Schools and courses can be found by browsing the web pages and there is a search facility at the top of the page.
Please use the link at the bottom of the page to access the UCP Marjon Publication Scheme.
2. Right of Access Request
Information not published under this scheme can be requested in writing. On receipt of a written request the University College is obliged to inform the enquirer whether it holds the information in question and if it does, subject to exemptions set out in the Act, to supply that information to the enquirer within 20 working days.
A fee may be charged calculated according to the Fees regulations of the Information Commissioner’s Office.
