- Be as open, transparent and helpful as possible with its information and to be proactive in making it available and accessible to its members and the public at large.
- Make responsible use of the exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act and to invoke them as a last, not first, resort.
- Disclose the requested information unless there is a clearly greater public interest in withholding it.
- Strive to exceed the applicant’s expectations when dealing with requests for information and complaints under the Act.
Our main obligations
We have two main responsibilities under the act:

- To produce a ‘Publication Scheme‘ — a guide to the information held by the University which is publicly available to anyone
