Freedom of information (FOI) is now an international phenomenon with over 100 countries from Albania to Zimbabwe enacting the right to know for their citizens. Since 2005, the UK's Freedom of Information Act has opened up thousands of public bodies to unparalleled scrutiny and prompted further moves to transparency. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the practical management of freedom of information compliance, including interpretation of the Act as well as the Environmental Information Regulations. The UK Freedom of Information Act has now been in force for 12 years. Despite regular attempts to reform it - most recently the government's establishment of an Independent FOI Commission in 2015-16 - it has largely survived intact. This book documents best practice, the light that is cast by regulator guidance and case law, and the author's views on how FOI should be managed.
