The purpose of the scheme is to let you know what information will be automatically or routinely published by us.
The publication scheme aims to make the maximum amount of current information available at minimum inconvenience and cost to the public.
You don't have to make a Freedom of Information request to view the information in the publication scheme; the information is available either to view or download below.
In exceptional circumstances some information may be available only by viewing in person. Where this manner is specified, contact details will be provided. An appointment to view the information will be arranged within a reasonable timescale.
As the aim is to provide current information, some documents may not be available as we may only keep these for a certain period of time, known as a retention schedule.
