We would normally provide the information in paper copy, normal font size. If you
require alternative formats, e.g. language, audio, large print, etc. then please let me
know.
For your information, the Act defines a number of exemptions which may prevent
release of the information you have requested. There will be an assessment and if
any of the exemption categories apply then it will be withheld. We will inform you if
this is the case.
If the information you request contains reference to a third party then we may consult
them before we decide to release the information to you.
We may charge you a fee for the information. We will inform you if this is the case
and if so, how much the fee is. In this event you would have to pay the fee before the
information is processed and released. The 20 working day time limit for responses
is suspended until receipt of the payment.
