Freedom of Information Coordinators

The University's Freedom of Information Coordinators are local contacts, across the University, for advice on FoISA issues. When appropriate the coordinator may pass the issue on to the Data Protection and Freedom of Information Office. In addition, when the Data Protection and Freedom of Information Office is handling an information request and is seeking to locate the relevant information, it will initially contact the appropriate coordinator(s) for assistance. 

The role of the FoI coordinator is as follows:

  • To raise staff awareness of freedom of information issues in their area.
  • To resolve the routine freedom of information queries which may arise in their area.
  • To liaise with the DP/FOI Office, as appropriate, to resolve complex queries or where exemptions might apply in a particular request.
  • To help the DP/FoI Office in promptly locating and extracting information that is held in their area.
  • To comment on centrally produced guidance and training materials.
  • To advise the DP/FoI Office of areas where further guidance or clarification is required.

The Data Protection and Freedom of Information Office, in conjunction with the Staff Development Service, holds twice-yearly briefing sessions for the coordinators.
