Publication Scheme
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 public bodies are required to adopt, maintain and review a Publication Scheme. The schemes are designed to ensure that public bodies actively release information to the public.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has developed a Model Publication Scheme which CCEA has adopted. Details of CCEA’s commitment to proactively make information available to the public, and any exemptions to this commitment, can be viewed in its Publication Scheme.
The types of information that CCEA will undertake to make routinely available can be viewed at ICO Definition Document for Northern Ireland non departmental public bodies.

In our reply, we will confirm whether or not we hold the information, and either provide you with the information requested or explain why it is not being provided.
We may charge a fee before supplying the information you request. If so, we'll write to you giving details of the amount you must pay before we disclose the information.
