FOI organisational awareness training (back to FOI Related Services )

FOI officers and decision-makers sometimes encounter institutional hurdles when processing FOI requests. Many of these hurdles spring from a lack of awareness within organisations about FOI legislation and what it means for individual officers, employees and other staff.

FOI Solutions can conduct on-site training seminars to ensure heightened organisational awareness of FOI obligations. These can be customised to suit the needs of each individual agency. Topics most often covered include:

• Why we have FOI legislation?
• How FOI legislation can be used to access government agency information?
• Functions of FOI legislation
• What is covered by the right of access?
• What documents or information is available/not available?
• How do exemptions work
• Document creation, management and destruction issues
