You should replace all of this content with your own.

Making a Request

A request under FOIA will need to be submitted in writing, either by email, letter or via the following link:

Freedom of Information Request Online Form.

You must include your name and an address that you wish the information to be sent to (either email or postal). You should include as much detail as you can regarding the information you wish to receive (the more information the better) and make your request as specific as possible (requests that are too vague or too wide ranging could be considered exempt).

Under the DPA an individual can request access to information held about themselves, this is called a Subject Access Request. A request under ( DPA) also needs to be submitted in writing, either by email or letter. You will be asked to show two forms of identification and pay a fee of £10 for a subject access request.

A request under EIR can be made in writing or email but also verbally by telephone or face to face. As with an FOIA request, the more information you can supply and the more specific you can be about your request the better. You will need to provide your name and how you wish to receive the information.
