New Publication Scheme 2009

Under section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the Department of Education (DE) has a duty to produce a Publication Scheme.  From January 2009 the Information Commissioner requires Public Authorities to adopt a new model Publication Scheme to be used as a comprehensive guide to the classes (types/kinds) of information we routinely publish or plan to publish and how the information can be obtained in alternative formats or read on the following pages on this website.
