North Yorkshire Police - Delivering modern policing in a traditional way

Our Publication Scheme

This guidance gives examples of the kinds of information that Police Authorities are expected to provide in order to meet their commitments under the Information Commissioner's model publication scheme. This information will be made available unless:

• we do not hold the information;
• the information is exempt under one of the FOI exemptions or Environmental Information Regulations (EIRs) exceptions, or its release is prohibited under another statute;
• the information is archived, out of date or otherwise inaccessible; or,
• it would be impractical or resource-intensive to prepare the material for routine release.

The Publication Scheme is divided into 7 areas:

• Who we are and what we do
• What we spend and how we spend it
• What our priorities are and how we are doing
• How we make decisions
• Our policies and procedures
• Lists and registers
• The services we offer
