Training Courses

The Environmental Information Regulations 2004 are proving as popular as Freedom of Information for those seeking recorded information from, amongst others, local authorities, utility companies, government departments and waste management companies. The definition of “environmental information” is very wide so the effect of the regulations will fall on many departments, not just those dealing with environmental matters. This course will take delegates through the regulations in detail as well as examine the link with other legislation such as the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The latest guidance from DEFRA and decisions from the Information Commissioner and Information Tribunal will also be discussed. This course is suitable for those seeking an update as well as absolute beginners.
