The Freedom of Information Act 2000 requires public authorities to produce and maintain "Publication Schemes". A Publication Scheme is a guide to the information that the Council routinely makes available. The scheme will also include information regarding how the information will be made available, such as via the Council Website or by inspection, as well as whether any charges will be made for providing the information.
The scheme lists the categories, or "classes" of information that are available and Sandwell's scheme contains seven classes of information. Please note that the information and links on the following pages are not exhaustive and do not detail every document that the Council produces. If you cannot find what you are looking for please try the website search facility, or contact us for further assistance.
Classes
- Who we are and what we do
- What we spend and what we spend it on
- What our priorities are and how we are doing
- The services we offer
- How we make decisions
- Policies and procedures
- Lists and registers
