Website guidance

Information Compliance Services has produced guidance on a range of freedom of information topics wider than request handling:

Training

All new practitioners receive an invitation to attend practitioner induction training. The training is also open to anyone who is regularly involved in answering requests, or any practitioners who attended some years ago and would like a refresher.

Practitioner's training

We also offer other training and briefings which are of relevance to practitioners.

Briefings and training

By email, phone or in person

Please get in touch with us if there is any issue you would like to discuss.
