| 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. |
|
| |
|
| The Publication Scheme will be available in both hard copy and on our web site. |
