Event details
This practical course is designed to help campaigners, researchers, journalists and others make the most of the FOI Act and the parallel Environmental Information Regulations. It explains the legislation, shows how to draft clear and effective requests avoiding likely pitfalls and how to challenge unjustified refusals. The course's interactive sessions will encourage you to test your own FOI drafting skills. The course is aimed at beginners and those who are already using the Act but want to do so more effectively.
The session will be presented by Maurice Frankel, Director of the Campaign for Freedom of Information, who has worked in the field for 40 years and has unrivalled FOI expertise.
