Publication Scheme

The purpose of the publication scheme is to make information readily  available to you.  We create enormous amounts of new information every day and are committed to continuously improving the way we manage, hold and publish information. 

The Publication Scheme is produced directly from documents held on the website.

How the Publication Scheme is Organised

Under the Freedom of Information Act (2000), the Publication Scheme must be organised into ‘classes’ of information that are easy to understand. You do not have to know anything about the structure of the council to find your way around the publication scheme. These ‘classes’ relate to the type of document and we have based this on a national standard.

 

● Category – this refers to the location of the document on the website and this also corresponds to the Local Government Category List (which is a categorisation list all local authorities are adopting).

● Sub-category – this refers to a standard category list we are using called the Integrated Public Sector Vocabulary (IPSV). The purpose of this categorisation is to support consistency throughout the public sector.

● Title – this refers to the name given to the document. It is also a 'hyperlink' to the document on the website.

● Class – this refers to the type of document and is based on a national standard (the Local Government Type List).

● Size – this refers to the size of the document which will enable your PC to determine how long it will take to download.

● Fee – this will indicate whether a fee is applicable or not.
