Freedom of Information Act 2000 Training

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives the public the right to access information held by public authorities. This legislation plays a vital role in transparency and accountability across the public sector, but it also places clear legal obligations on organisations that fall within its scope.

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 Training course provides a clear and accessible overview of how the Act works in practice. It explains why the legislation was introduced, who it applies to, and what types of information can be requested by members of the public.

Learners will explore the principles and purpose of the Act, along with the process for handling information requests. The course also explains when information can be withheld or refused, helping staff understand how to respond lawfully and confidently to FOI requests.

Designed as a concise introduction, this training is ideal for anyone working within a public authority or supporting FOI compliance as part of their role.

On successful completion, learners receive a digital certificate confirming CPD hours and learning objectives.
