My name is Paul Gibbons. And I am FOIMan.

I’ve worked in information management for 26 years including periods working in the Houses of Parliament, Greater London Authority and as an independent consultant and trainer. I currently work for the Pension Protection Fund advising on FOI and data protection issues. In 2010 I started writing the FOIMan blog providing a new perspective on freedom of information issues – from the inside of a public authority. In 2019, my book, The Freedom of Information Officer’s Handbook, was published by Facet Publishing. Please note the following:

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 me.

FOIMan is based in London, UK.

Use the contact form to get in touch if you have any comments or questions about the posts or resources here. Unfortunately I can’t advise on individual cases.
