Freedom of Information & Environmental Information
The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 gives everyone a right of access to information held by Clydebank Housing Association. You can also ask us for the environmental information that we hold under the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (EISRs).
The aim of the Act is to increase openness and transparency by allowing people to access information about how decisions are taken and how public services are delivered.
Clydebank are under a legal obligation to:
- Publish information that the authority makes routinely available
- Tell the public how to access the information and whether information is available free of charge or on payment
- Alongside the Act, the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (the EISRs) provide a separate right of access to the environmental information that we hold
Guide to Information
The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (the Act) requires Scottish public authorities to adopt and maintain a publication scheme which has the approval of the Scottish Information Commissioner, and publish information in accordance with that scheme.
Clydebank Housing Association has adopted the Scottish Information Commissioner’s (SIC) Model Publication Scheme (MPS), and this Guide has been approved by the SIC. The Guide is avaialble here.
