FOI for
Beginners:
What FOI Heads and
Coordinators Need to Know About FOI and Privacy
This introductory session to FOI is geared to provide FOI Heads and

legislation. Topics covered include how
to respond to public requests for information and what is appropriate for you
to disclose to the public, in particular with respect to privacy.
The presenters will use case studies to illustrate "best practices" for FOI Heads and Coordinators when dealing with information requests from the public, and point out some of the more common pitfalls that staff may encounter.
