Freedom Of Information Training and Awareness RaisingOn this page:
In this section:
PurposeThis page contains information about the freedom of information training and briefings that the Records Management Section offers. It also contains resources for practitioners and University staff to use to help raise awareness and refresh existing knowledge of freedom of information in the University. Briefings and trainingThe Records Management Section offer a range of briefings and training courses on freedom of information issues. Choose from attendance at our organised training sessions or contact us to arrange a specialised briefing for your area on freedom of information. Briefings can be arranged to discuss any aspect of freedom of information and can also be combined with presentations on data protection or records management issues. The briefing may be specially organised to discuss only freedom of information issues or it can take place as part of a wider school meeting or existing departmental training session. The length of time you choose to allocate for briefings can vary from 15 minutes to an hour and is very flexible. For example, it can be comprised of a short 10 minute presentation with 20 minutes for questions & answers or vice versa. Examples of past briefings include freedom of information for beginners, a refresher session on freedom of information with a review of our experience so far, and an update on the impact of freedom of information. Further information on the range of training courses available and how to contact us is available on the briefings and training page.
