Freedom of Information Overview
Welcome to Bradford Council's Freedom of Information webpage which contains the Council's publication scheme along with details on how to contact the Council's freedom of information officer
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities, including the Council. It sets out exemptions from that right and places a number of obligations on the Council.
The Council has published a Publication Scheme that sets out the classes of information that we publish, how it is published and whether we make a charge or not. The scheme ensures that a significant amount of information is available to you, without the need for a specific request, and describes how Bradford Council works and how to obtain information published by our various departments.
Since January 2005 any person who makes a request to a public authority for information must be informed whether the public authority holds that information and, subject to exemptions, be supplied with that information.
