The Freedom of Information Act 2000 came into force on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, anybody may request information from a public authority which has functions in England, Wales and/or Northern Ireland. The Act gives applicants two statutory rights:
- To be told whether or not the public authority holds that information; and if so,
- To have that information communicated to them.
Although the Partnership does not qualify as a public authority, its member partners do. Therefore, in the interests of openness, the Partnership will act as much as possible like a public body in relation to the Act.
The Partnership's intention is to make available as much public interest information as possible via this website. Should the information that you are looking for not be contained within the website, please contact us by email at
