| THE
CLASSES OF INFORMATION |
|
| |
|
| These classes of
information do not include information about particular
members of staff or other individuals, nor does
it contain information that may endanger the physical
or mental health of individuals, including our staff.
They also do not include information relating to
investigations and proceedings with a view to it
being ascertained whether a person should be charged
or is guilty of committing an offence or investigations
that are conducted by us by virtue of powers conferred
under any enactment. |
|
| |
|
| We will state how
you can obtain the information outlined within each
Class. This will be either via the website or as
hard copies or other media as stated within each
Class. The publications are all free unless otherwise
indicated within each Class [with £].Where
information is provided at a cost the charges will
be as set out in Class 14. |
|
| |
|
| The PPD's commitment
to publish information excludes any information,
which can legitimately be withheld under the exemptions
set out in the Freedom of Information Act. Where
individual classes are subject to exemptions, the
main reasons are e.g. the protection of commercial
interests, personal information under the Data Protection
Act 1998, or information which could prove detrimental
to the security, integrity or operation of the PPD.
This applies to all Classes within the Publication
Scheme. |

Scheme will be available in both hard copy and on
