Cardiff Council's policy is to carry out the spirit and requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act in a manner which:

- recognizes the duty to inform as the essential principle underlying the
legislation;

- discloses to requesters the maximum information possible which is not
injurious to the public and private interests identified in the exemptions
in the Act and does so in the most timely and consistent manner given the
nature and scope of the request;

be considered prior to disclosure. If any of the exemption categories do
apply an explanation for non-disclosure will be included in the Decision
Notice response you will receive, included in this notice is your right to
appeal against our decision.

If the information you request contains reference to a third party then
they may be consulted prior to a decision being taken on whether or not to
release the information to you. We will keep you informed if this issue
arises.

In some circumstances a fee may be payable for the information you have
