…Environmental Information Regulations, the misunderstood cousin to the Freedom of Information Act (FOI).
Coming out of the FOI24 conference I think a lot of people are going to try and understand them more. especially where the Information Commissioner is trying to get improvements in understanding across the public sector.
EIR and FOI requests are not going away, are increasing and are becoming more complex.
Some parts of the legislation I do not like nor do I like certain categories of requestors, but that is personal – the challenge is to become more knowledgeable and more effective when dealing with requests.
