Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives everyone the opportunity to access information held by public bodies, including SEEDA, relating to their public functions. The Act’s purpose is to foster openness, transparency and accountability in Government.

Information SEEDA makes publicly available

We publish a wide variety of information on this website via the Publication Scheme.

Under the Freedom of Information Act, all public authorities are required to make information available through their publication scheme. The publication scheme should contain information which is disclosed routinely, without the need for a written request for that information.

The headings used in our Publication Scheme are based on the definition document for Non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs), provided by the Information Commissioner’s Office. This document, and further guidance on the Freedom of Information Act, can be found on the Information Commissioner's Office website.

The Freedom of Information disclosure log also lists information which has already been requested of SEEDA.

To make a Freedom of Information request

Firstly, browse our Freedom of Information Disclosure Log to see if the information you require has already been requested.

Alternatively, the information you require may already appear under the Publication Scheme.

If you have not found the desired information, please complete the online Freedom of Information request form.
