Draft FOI Model Publication Scheme
Local Councils Model Publication Scheme Pro Forma
This Publication Scheme is only published as a draft scheme template for the Council to use as they see fit. It does not represent the views of the Council nor is it binding upon them. This scheme only becomes valid once the clauses that the Council wish to adopt are completed by the Council and are officially published by the Council.
If your council has already created a publication scheme then please ignore this template.
Model Pro Forma Publication Scheme Below: Please amend for it to become official for your council.
NOTE: If you choose to use the Model below please re-name the Headline of the page to e.g. Council Name Publication Scheme.
Use this pro forma to select any of the optional documents within the core classes or any of the optional classes themselves. There is also a declaration form attached to this pro forma which you may use to inform the Commissioner that your council has adopted the model scheme instead of the one which you should have already been sent.
If your council only wishes to adopt the core information within the core classes, then simply complete and return the declaration form, writing Model Publication Scheme for Local Councils (Core Classes Only) in the space provide for the title of the scheme.
