Public Information Leaflet

The Freedom of Information Act 2000

Note: This guide is an overview of some of the main provisions of the Act
and should not be regarded as a legal document.

What does the Freedom of Information Act do? The Freedom of Information
(FOI) Act 2000 gives everyone the right to request information from public
authorities. The FOI Act means that, from 1^st January 2005, you can get
information to help you to understand better how this Department works,
how we spend public money, and how and why we make our decisions.

You can also get information under:

The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) which amongst other things, gives
individuals access to their own personal information. The DPA applies to
private enterprise as well as public authorities.

The Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIRs) which gives people
access to "environmental information" held by organisations that perform
functions of a public nature.

How do I get information about the Department of Education under the FOI
Act? If you have access to the Internet you can get information on the
departmental website [1]www.deni.gov.uk or visit [2]www.onlineni.net for
further information on accessing the websites of all Northern Ireland
Government Departments. Alternatively you can write to Veronica Bintley,
Departmental Information Manager, Department of Education, Rathgael House,
43 Balloo Road, Bangor, BT19 7PR.

How long does it take to get information? Once a written request for
information is received, we have 20 working days to respond - although
that time can be extended where:

A "qualified" exemption applies and we need to consider the public
interest.
We are awaiting payment of a fee by you.

Sometimes we might need to contact you in order to clarify exactly what
information you are interested in. It will help us to process your request
more quickly if you can be as specific as possible about what information
it is you want. Please make sure that you provide us with your name and
address and a contact telephone number.

Is there a cost for getting information? This depends on a number of
factors including the volume of material requested. Responses to
enquiries that cost the Department less than £600 to process will
normally be provided free of charge, although there may be a small charge
for disbursements. The department has the right to refuse to respond to a
request that is estimated to cost more than £600 to process unless the
request is for information covered by EIRs, in which case the Department
has to process the request if you are prepared to pay the costs.

What happens if the information I want is not available? The FOI Act does
not require us to gather information or create information that is not
already there. But we are required to assist you with your request. We
will contact you and tell you what information we do hold that might help
to answer your query or suggest another public authority that may hold the
information you are looking for.

What information can I have? The FOI Act allows you access to almost all
information that a public body holds. But there are some things that
cannot be given to the public. For example, information about national
security, law enforcement or personal information about others - though
you can obtain your own personal information through the DPA (see above).
Ask about the DPA if you are seeking your own personal information.

What if I am refused information? We will tell you if information is
being withheld and why. We will also tell you whom you should contact to
request an internal review if you are not satisfied with our decision. And
if you are still not satisfied after the internal review you can request a
review by the Information Commissioner (see details below). Please
contact us first if you are not satisfied with our response and tell us
why you believe that we are wrongly withholding information from you.

Where can I get more information about the FOI Act? You can get more
information about FOI from the regional Northern Ireland office of the
Information Commissioner. The Commissioner's details are:

Website: [3]www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk
Phone: 028 90 511200
Email: [email address]
Post: Assistant Information Commissioner for Northern Ireland, Room
101, Regus House, 33 Clarendon Dock, Laganside, Belfast, BT1 3BG

Mr Losty,

Please see below in relation to your query regarding the response to FOI
DFP2011-0273.

There are 452 members of EO2 staff in DFP. This figure includes seconded
staff.
Staff on career break have not been included in this total.

Using this figure against the figure of 265 provided in the FOI response,
58.6% of EO2 staff are potentially earning less basic salary than
colleagues at the Administrative Officer grade.

Kind Regards
