Exempt Information

Some information is exempt from disclosure under the Act, and so does not have to be provided. Where information requested is exempt, the University will:

  • State whether it holds information of the type requested
  • Explain why the exempt information has been withheld
  • Inform the applicant of his or her right to appeal the decision to the Records and information Manager or subsequently complain to the Chief Legal Officer and, ultimately if still dissatisfied, the Information Commissioner

For a more detailed explanation of Exemptions in Freedom of Information, please see: FOI list of exemptions.
