The Freedom of Information Officer’s Handbook

‘an absolute must read for staff new to FOI…Every FOI Officer should have a copy on their desk.’ Lynn Wyeth, Freedom of Information Journal

The Freedom of Information Officer’s Handbook is a comprehensive guide to FOI and its management, published by Facet Publishing in January 2019. An indispensable tool for FOI Officers and their colleagues, it includes a guide to the UK’s FOI Act and the exemptions; a look at how FOI interacts with other legislation such as data protection and copyright; and an exploration of how FOI should best be implemented. Read a free chapter on the role of the FOI Officer.
