Guide to information available Caledonian MacBrayne Crewing (Guernsey) Ltd

GUIDE TO INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MODEL PUBLICATION SCHEME 2015

The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (the Act) requires Scottish public authorities to produce and maintain a publication scheme. Authorities are under a legal obligation to:

  • publish the classes of information that they make routinely available
  • tell the public how to access the information and what it might cost.

Caledonian MacBrayne Crewing (Guernsey) has adopted the Model Publication Scheme produced by the Scottish Information Commissioner.

The purpose of this Guide to Information is to:

  • allow you to see what information is available (and what is not available) in relation to each class,
  • state what charges may be applied
  • explain how you can find the information easily
  • provide contact details for enquiries and to get help with accessing the information
  • explain how to request information we hold that has not been published

The Guide is split into the following six sections:

  • Availability and formats
  • Exempt information
  • Copyright
  • Charges
  • Contact us
  • The classes of information that we publish

 

Availability and formats

The information we publish through the model scheme is, wherever possible, available on our website. We offer alternative arrangements for people who do not want to, or cannot, access the information online or by inspection at our premises. For example, we can usually arrange to send information to you in paper copy (although there may be a charge for this).

Exempt information

We will publish the information we hold that falls within the classes of information below. If a document contains information that is exempt under Scotland’s freedom of information laws (for example sensitive personal information or a trade secret), we may remove or redact the information before publication, but we will explain why.

Copyright

Where Caledonian MacBrayne Crewing (Guernsey) holds the copyright in its published information, the information may be copied or reproduced without formal permission, provided that:

  • it is copied or reproduced accurately
  • it is not used in a misleading context, and
  • the source of the material is identified

Where Caledonian MacBrayne Crewing (Guernsey) does not hold the copyright in information we publish, we will make this clear.

Charges

There is no charge to view information on our website or at our premises.

We may charge for providing information to you e.g., photocopying and postage, but we will charge you no more than it costs us to do so. We will always tell you what the cost is before providing the information to you.

We do not pass on any other costs to you in relation to our published information.
