Freedom of Information

What is Freedom of Information?

ATU is a body established for a public purpose and thus falls within the scope of the Freedom on Information (FOI) Act 2014.

The FOI Act 2014 provides the following statutory rights:

A legal right for any person to access records held by ATU
A legal right for individuals to have personal information relating to them amended where it is incomplete, incorrect or misleading
A legal right for any person to obtain reasons for an act of ATU which affects them and in which they have a material interest.

The purpose of the Act is to foster a culture of openness, transparency and accountability in public bodies.

Access to information under the Act is subject to certain exemptions and involves specific procedures and time limits.

Some information may be exempt from access. Should that be the case, we will provide the information we can and also provide reasons why other information has not been released.
