Publication Scheme

Fife Council

The Publication Scheme contains details of the information that Fife Council routinely makes publicly available under the terms of the Freedom of Information legislation.

Under Section 23 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 all public authorities are obliged to adopt and maintain a publication scheme. The purpose of the scheme is to ensure that a large amount of information is readily available to members of the public and to inform the public of the extent of the information the Council will routinely make available.

The Council is committed to a policy of open access to information under the scheme. Our aim is to ensure the structure and content of the scheme reflects the types of information in which there is public interest. We will review and update the publication scheme on a regular basis.

Our scheme contains:

• 'Classes' of information-what information is available
• Where you can obtain that information
• The manner and format of publication
• The cost, if any, of the information

The scheme is structured around 13 top-level categories and further sub-categories and 'classes'. The 13 top-level categories are:

Business

Community and Living

Council, Government and Democracy

Education

Environment

Health and Social Care

Housing

Jobs and Careers

Legal Services

Leisure and Culture

Policing and Public Safety

Social Issues

Transport and Streets
