Freedom of Information (Access to Information) at Belfast Met

The Freedom of Information Act (2000) and Environmental Information Regulations (2004) extends the public's rights of access to information held by public authorities, including further and higher education institutions.

These obligations increase the College's accountability and transparency regarding operations and decisions made by the organisation to gain public understanding of its nature, decisions and activities via the systematic publication of all relevant information unless there are exemptions permitted by the Act.
