Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI), every month there are around twenty decisions published by the Information Commissioner and five by the Information Tribunal. It is essential that all FOI practitioners keep up to date with these and other developments. This workshop examines all the latest FOI decisions and guidance and applies them to real life scenarios. It is packed full of case studies designed to teach delegates the key factors to be considered when making decisions about FOI exemptions and the Public Interest Test. Time will also be devoted to practicing the drafting of Refusal Notices, a subject which the Information Commissioner has drawn attention to in his decisions. Delegates will also receive a comprehensive training pack containing useful checklists and guidance notes.
