Who is FOIMan?

The FOIMan Blog and website was set up in 2010 by Paul Gibbons.

Please note the following:

  • Paul stopped actively updating this site in 2020 so whilst you’re welcome to read the content here, please bear in mind that some information may be out of date.
  • I am not a lawyer, so nothing here should be interpreted as legal advice.
  • This blog (as with my other social media accounts) reflects my own opinions and not those of my employer.
  • I provide lots of (hopefully) helpful resources here on the FOIMan website, but I can’t enter into correspondence about individual cases.

Find out more about Paul and the FOIMan site.
