Freedom of information
Find information about Barnet and Southgate College’s Freedom of Information publication scheme and how to submit an FOI request. We normally respond within 20 working days.
Barnet and Southgate College is committed to being open and transparent about how we operate and make decisions.
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives you the right to access information held by public bodies, including further education colleges. It also requires organisations to make certain information publicly available through a publication scheme.
Before making a request, we recommend checking our website, where a wide range of information is already available.
Publication Scheme
Barnet and Southgate College follows the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) Model Publication Scheme. The scheme sets out the information we routinely publish and make available to the public.
You can access information about:
- Who we are and what we do
- What we spend and how we spend it
- What our priorities are and how we are performing
- Our policies and procedures
- Services for learners aged 16 to 18
- Services for adult learners
Some information held by the College may be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Where this applies, we will explain the reason for any information we cannot provide.
Making a Freedom of Information Request
If you cannot find the information you need on our website, you can submit a Freedom of Information request.
Please provide:
- Your name
- A postal or email address for correspondence
- A clear description of the information you are requesting
Providing as much detail as possible will help us identify and locate the information more quickly.
How Long Will It Take?
We will normally respond within 20 working days of receiving your request, as required under the Freedom of Information Act.
If we cannot provide the information requested, we will explain why and advise you of any rights you may have to request a review.
Fees and Charges
Most Freedom of Information requests are provided free of charge. In some circumstances, we may charge a reasonable fee, for example for printing, photocopying or postage. If a fee applies, we will let you know before processing your request.
