Higher Education Statistics Agency

A body voluntarily applying FOI, also called hesa

This authority is not subject to FOI law, so is not legally obliged to respond (details).

HESA may not technically subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000. If it is formally subject to the act depends on if all those who own it are themselves public sector bodies according to the act, it appears they are but we can't be certain.

HESA has in the past voluntarily committed to assist with requests for information from the public and continues to offer to respond to "small enquiries" for data from the public.
