THE PUBLICATION SCHEME The Information Commissioner's Office has now developed and approved a new model publication scheme which can be adopted by town/parish and community councils. Brackley Town Council has adopted the new model scheme which will be operational from 1 January 2009. For the avoidance of doubt the new Model Scheme is generic in nature (i.e. it is for all public authorities irrespective of them being a local authority) and is not sector specific. The model scheme is also available on the Information Commissioners website at www.ico.gov.uk - the easiest way of locating it is to click on Publication Schemes under the A-Z listing. Please also click here to view Brackley Town Council's publication. |
