How to make a request

A request to the Board under the Freedom of Information Act 2014 must be sent to the Board’s Freedom of Information Officer.

The contact details are provided below. When you make a request you must:

> submit the request in writing along with the appropriate fee, if applicable (see separate section on fees);

> specify that the request is being made under the FOI Act; and

> be clear enough so that the Board understands what records are being requested.

In cases where the Board is not clear what records are being requested, staff of the Board will assist you to put your request in such a way that the records being sought can be identified. A decision whether to grant or refuse a request is made normally within 20 working days.
