| Category | Organisational Development |
| Overview | As a public authority, the University of Essex is required to respond to requests for information held about the University by the University under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) within a specified timeframe under the legislation.
This training session will provide guidance on what to do if you receive a request for information which is not within your normal job role and how the Information Assurance Team can support you and provide advice and guidance on assisting us to be able to respond to requests in a timely manner.
Following completion of the session, you should be able to identify what an FOI request is, what the process for handling requests is; how you can help us with providing data for the response and the role of the Information Assurance Team in the process. |
