Freedom of lnformation
The aim of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 is to increase openness and accountability in government and across the public sector by giving people the right to access information held by Scottish public authorities.
From 1 January 2005, anyone, anywhere can make a request for information held by and will be entitled to receive it, provided that no exemptions apply.
SCCYP publishes information routinely. In our publication scheme, we are committed to publish certain classes of information as a matter of course, without you having to make a specific request for it. Much of this is available on this Website, for example minutes and policy research from for SCCYP's committee meetings.
For very good reasons, such as cost, we cannot publish everything. Some information is exempt by law from disclosures for good reasons.
If you want information, which you think we have in recorded form and have not published, you can make an information request.
